Chapter 30 Chapter Twenty Nine
You TanZhi picked up the gourd, walked quickly back to Nanjing, reported to AhZi that he had caught the ice silkworm.
Ah Zi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered him to raise Can'er in the urn.It was the hottest month of July, the weather was very hot, but once the ice silkworms were raised in the side hall, the hall became colder and colder, and after a while, even the tea in the teapots and tea bowls in the hall turned to ice.That night You TanZhi was shivering under the blanket, unable to sleep due to the cold, he thought to himself: "This silkworm monster is really rare in the world. If you want it to suck my blood, it won't be poisoned to death. It froze me too."
A'Zi caught several poisonous snakes and poisonous insects one after another to fight with them, they all made a circle around the ice silkworm, then they froze to death, the ice silkworm sucked up the juice.For more than ten consecutive days, none of the poisonous insects could resist.One day Ah Zi came to the side hall and said: "Tie Chou, today we are going to kill the ice silkworm, you put your hand into the urn and let the silkworm suck blood!"
These days You TanZhi worries during the day and dreams at night, what he fears is this moment of time, in the end this girl is merciless and finally asks him to sacrifice with Bing Can, feeling sad, staring at AhZi for a while, Keep silent.
AhZi just thought: "I got this strange treasure by accident, the Poison Palm Kungfu I have practiced is probably even stronger than Master." She said: "Put your hand into the urn!" You TanZhi burst into tears, He knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Girl, after you practice Poison Palm, don't forget the villain who died for you. My surname is You, and my name is Tanzhi. I'm not a Tie Chou." Ah Zi smiled slightly, and said: " Okay, your name is You Tanzhi, as I remember, you are very loyal to me, very good, you are a very loyal slave!"
Hearing these words of praise from her, You TanZhi felt very comforted, kowtowed his head twice more, and said: "Thank you, miss!" But in the end he didn't want to just let it go, he straightened his feet, turned around, and his head came out from under his crotch , Grasping the foot with the left hand, stretching the right hand into the urn, thinking of the small arrow in the two strange characters next to the naked monk in the book.Suddenly there was a slight itching on the tip of the index finger, a gust of cold air was like an ice arrow, following the arm, shooting into the chest quickly and inexorably, You Tanzhi only remembered the direction pointed by the small arrow in his heart, the cold air really followed the direction in his heart The thread of thinking runs from the finger to the arm, from the chest and abdomen to the top of the head, where the thin line goes, it is extremely cold and piercing.
Seeing him doing this weird posture, AhZi was very amused, after a long time, seeing him still standing on his head like this, she couldn't help being surprised, when she got closer to look, she saw the ice silkworm biting his index finger.The ice silkworm's body is as transparent as crystal, one can see a line of blood flowing from the ice silkworm's mouth, passing through the left side of the silkworm's body, making a circle, and pouring into the mouth from the right side, flowing back to You Tanzhi's index finger.
After a while, seeing You Tanzhi's iron head, clothes, hands and feet were all covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, Ah Zi thought: "This slave is dead, otherwise there will be heat on the body of a living person, how can he Can it be frosted?" But seeing that the ice silkworm still has blood circulating in its body, it is obvious that it has not finished sucking blood.All of a sudden, traces of hot air burst out from the ice silkworm's body.
AhZi was in amazement, with a light click, the ice silkworm fell from You TanZhi's fingers.She had already held a wooden stick in her hand and pounded it down hard.She originally thought that the ice silkworm was supernatural, this stick may not have killed it, but after falling into the urn, it turned its belly to the sky, and was stupidly unable to turn around for a while.A'Zi pounded it down with a stick, and immediately smashed it to pieces.
AhZi was overjoyed, quickly stretched out her hands into the urn, stuffed the ice silkworm's slurry and blood in the palms of her palms, closed her eyes and performed exercises, sucking the slurry and blood into her palms.She applied the slurry again and again until the blood at the bottom of the urn was sucked clean, and then she stopped.
She was tired for a long time, she stretched a little and stood up, only to see You TanZhi was still upside down with his head between his legs, his whole body was snow white and covered with frost.She was terrified, she stretched out her hand to touch his body, the touch was extremely cold, and her clothes were frozen stiff.She was surprised and amused at the same time, she spread the news into the room and ordered him to drag You Tanzhi out to bury him.
They brought several Khitan soldiers into the room, put You Tanzhi's body into the carriage and dragged it outside the city.AhZi didn't give orders for a proper burial, and the room didn't bother digging a pit for burial, saw a stream beside the road, threw the body into the stream, and went back to the city.
Such a lazy act in the room saved You TanZhi's life.It turned out that as soon as You Tanzhi's finger was bitten by the ice silkworm, he immediately used the method of "Yi Jin Jing" to dissolve the poisonous gas, after the blood was sucked into the body by the ice silkworm, it went back into the veins of his finger, dispelling the extremely poisonous ice silkworm. The silkworm essence is absorbed into the body.Ah Zi sucked the blood of the ice silkworm again, but it was useless, it was only a waste of hard work.If You Tanzhi had already practiced all the exercises in "Yi Jin Jing", he would be able to gradually eliminate the poison of the ice silkworm, but he only learned one method, he could not get out of it.This ice silkworm's strange poison is the first quality of Yin and cold, it immediately froze him to death. If he is buried in the soil in the room, even after hundreds of years, it may not be convenient, and he will definitely become a zombie.At this time, he fell into the stream and flowed slowly. After more than ten miles, the stream turned and his body was stopped by the reeds beside the stream.After a while, the stream beside him froze, turning into a crystal coffin.The stream water continued to rush and wash away the coldness in his body bit by bit, and finally the ice outside his body slowly melted. Fortunately, he was wearing an iron mask, and the iron heats up quickly, but also cools down quickly, so the ice inside and outside the iron mask melted first.He coughed for a while because of the rush of the stream, and when he regained consciousness, he climbed up from the stream, with many ice cubes remaining all over his body.When the body first turned into ice, it wasn't completely unconscious, it was just frozen in the ice and unable to move.Later, he finally passed out from the cold, and at this moment, his narrow escape was like a big dream. Sitting by the stream, he thought of how loyal he was to Ah Zi, willing to feed the poisonous insects with his body and help her practice, but after his death, Ah Zi didn't even sigh.He looked out from the ice and saw her smilingly taking out the ice silkworm blood and applying it on her palms to practice. He just looked at him sideways, but felt that his death was interesting and strange, and he had no regrets at all. He thought again: "The ice silkworm has such a strong poison that it is stronger than thousands of poisonous insects and snakes. After the girl inhales it into her palm, she has definitely mastered her poisonous palm. If I go back to see her..." All of a sudden, my body trembled. , shivered, and thought: "When she sees me, she will definitely use me to try her poisonous palm. If she can master the poisonous palm, she will kill me with one palm. If she hasn't practiced it well, she will kill me again." Tell me to catch poisonous snakes and insects until she masters her poisonous palm and can beat me to death with a single blow. The left and right are dead, so what do I go back for?" He stood up, jumped a few times, shook the ice off his body, and thought: "But where should I go?" Asking Qiao Feng to avenge his father's death was something that he dared not even think about.I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I just wandered in the wilderness and barren mountains, picking wild fruits, and catching birds and small animals for food.In the evening of the second day, when I was bored, I took out the Sanskrit "Yi Jin Jing", trying to imitate the posture of the naked monk in the picture. The book was soaked in the stream, and it was still wet. He flipped it carefully for fear of breaking the pages, but he saw a figure of a strange monk suddenly appeared on each page, with different postures.He contemplated for a long time, and finally understood that the pictures in the book would appear when wet, and it was not the bodhisattva who appeared to save his life, so he followed the pictures on the first page, followed the pattern, and even followed the little red arrow in the strange characters. I felt an extremely cold line of ice running through my limbs, as if the ice silkworm had revived and crawled inside my body.He became frightened and hurriedly stood up straight, the ice silkworms in his body disappeared immediately. For the next two hours, he just thought: "Is the cold silkworm that got into my body gone?" But he couldn't touch it, couldn't touch it, disappeared without a trace, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and started to make strange postures again. , according to the little red arrow in the strange character, after a while, the ice silkworm crawled inside the body again.He let out a loud cry, and if he didn't have any more thoughts in his mind, the ice silkworm would disappear, and if he missed it again, the ice silkworm would crawl again. Every time the ice silkworm crawls for a while, its whole body feels indescribably comfortable.There are many poses of naked monks in the book, and the small arrows in the strange characters also twist and turn, with complicated changes.He summoned the ice silkworms according to different postures, his body fluctuated from cold to warm, each with different comfort. After several months like this, when catching animals, I gradually realized that my hands and feet are light and nimble, the distance I can jump, and the speed of running are far beyond what I could before. One night, a hungry wolf came out to look for food and pounced on him.You TanZhi was startled, he was about to run away, the hungry wolf's sharp claws were on his shoulders, its sharp teeth were exposed, biting towards his throat.In panic, he casually slapped the hungry wolf on the head.The hungry wolf rolled over, twisted a few times, and then stopped moving.You TanZhi turned around and fled for a few zhang, seeing the wolf still not moving, he was very surprised, he picked up a stone and threw it, the stone hit the wolf's body, the wolf still didn't move.Surprised, he tiptoed over and saw that the wolf was dead.He never imagined that such a casual palm of his own could be so powerful, he turned his palm over and over carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual, and couldn't help shouting: "The ghost of the ice silkworm is really alive!" He only thought that after the death of the ice silkworm, the ghost entered into his body to show its great power, but he didn't know that it was purely due to the work of "Yi Jin Jing", and that the ice silkworm is a rare and highly poisonous thing in the world, this poisonous force The yin and cold were sucked into his body by him, and he practiced the superior inner strength contained in the "Yi Jin Jing", and the inner strength was filled with extremely sharp Yin energy. This "Yi Jin Jing" is indeed the supreme treasure book in martial arts, but the way to practice it is not easy, you have to find out "self-awareness and human appearance", and you don't have the idea of practicing martial arts in your heart.But monks who practice this superior martial art must be brave and diligent in order to achieve success. Who doesn't want to benefit from the practice as soon as possible?It is indeed extremely difficult to "have nothing to live in".For hundreds of years in Shaolin Temple, there have been quite a few eminent monks who have practiced the "Yi Jin Jing", but after years of hard work, they often get nothing, so the monks thought that this sutra was not effective, and it was stolen by A Zhu that day. Go, although the eminent monks in the temple were angry, they didn't take it as a big deal.More than a hundred years ago, there was a monk in Shaolin Temple who became a monk since he was a child. He was mentally dull and crazy.His master failed to study the "Yi Jin Jing" hard, and he sat down in anger.The crazy monk picked up the scriptures next to his master's body, practiced happily, and became a master of the generation.But why his martial art is so strong, until he passed away and returned to the west, he still can't explain why, and others don't know that it is the merit of "Yi Jin Jing".At this moment You TanZhi didn't intend to practice martial arts, he just called the ice silkworms in his body to come and go, just looking for fun and play, unknowingly his martial arts improved day by day, he just walked on the old path of the mad monk back then. In the next few days, he killed several wild beasts one after another. Knowing that his palm was very strong, his courage gradually grew, and he kept heading south. He was afraid that one day he would not call the ghost of the ice silkworm, "silkworm ghost." " will leave oneself, so the daily call does not dare to be interrupted.The "silkworm ghost" also came at the beck and call, it was extremely supernatural. You TanZhi gradually traveled southwards, this day he reached the border of Zhongzhou Henan.He knew that the iron head was terrifying, so he only slept in the wild caves and forests during the day, and only came out to steal food from others when it was dark.At that time, his skills were already extremely agile, and no one noticed him. One day he was sleeping in a small dilapidated temple by the side of the road, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and three people entered the temple. He hurriedly hid behind the shrine, not daring to meet anyone.Hearing that the three people walked up to the hall, they sat down on the spot and began to eat something.The three of them chattered about some gossip about the world, and suddenly one of them asked: "Where did you say that guy Qiao Feng is hiding? Why haven't you heard anything from him for more than a year?" You Tanzhi heard the word "Qiao Feng", his heart shivered, he immediately focused on it.I only heard another person say: "This guy has done a lot of evil and has become a turtle. I'm afraid I can't find him again." The first person said: "That's not necessarily the case. He is waiting for an opportunity, just waiting for someone to place an order. He just did this for a while. Do the math, how many people did he kill after the battle at Juxian Village? Elder Xu, Tan Gong and Tan Po and his wife, Zhao Qiansun, the iron-faced judge Shan Laoying's family, Tiantai Mountain Zhiguang The old monk, Mrs. Ma from the Beggar Gang, Elder Bai Shijing, alas, I can’t even count them.” After You TanZhi heard the words "Ju Xian Zhuang Da Da", he felt sore in his heart, he didn't listen to the man's words from now on, after a while, he heard an old voice saying: "Sect Master Qiao always treats people with kindness and justice, Unexpected... oh...unexpected, this is really doomed. Let's go." He stood up. Another person said: "Old Wang, you said that the gang is going to push for a new leader, who will you push?" The old voice said: "I don't know! Pushing and pushing, it has been pushing for more than a year, but I can't push it." Come out with a hero that the whole gang admires, well, let's wait and see." Another person said: "I know what you're thinking, I always hope that Qiao Feng will come to be the leader of our gang again. Don't send such a message early. It’s a dream in Qingqiu, this word has reached Master Quan’s ears, I’m afraid your life will be in danger.” The old Wang was anxious, and said: “Xiao Bi, you said that, when did I say I hoped for Master Qiao? Come to be the leader of our clan again?" Xiao Bi sneered, "You keep saying that you are still the head of the Qiao clan, and the leader of the Qiao clan is not the leader, so you only hope that Qiao Feng will become the leader of the clan?" Old Wang said angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, Look, I won't beat you to death, you little bastard." The third person persuaded: "Okay, okay, everyone, brother, don't make a fuss about this, go quickly, don't be late. How can Qiao Feng come to be Our leader? He is a Khitan dog breed. Once you see him, you will have to fight him to the death. Besides, even if you invite him to be the leader, will he be willing to be the leader?" Lao Wang sighed and said: " That's true." Saying that, the three of them walked out of the temple. You TanZhi thought: "The beggar gang wanted to find Qiao Feng, but they couldn't find it anywhere, how would they know that this guy became the king of the Southern Courtyard in Liao Kingdom. I'll tell them right away. There are so many people in the beggar gang. If we invite a group of heroes from the Central Plains, we may be able to kill this villain. I will go with them to kill Qiao Feng." Thinking of seeing Ah Zi when he was in Nanjing, his chest felt hot. He came out of the temple on tiptoe and saw the three Beggar Clan disciples walking west along the mountain path, so they quietly followed behind.At this time it was dark and there was no one on the barren hills, after walking for a few miles, they came to a mountain depression, and saw a big fire burning in the valley from a distance, You Tanzhi thought: "My iron head is very strange, they must see it when they see it. Make a big fuss, and hide in the grass to listen to what you say." Drilling into the long grass, he slowly crawled closer to the fire.Climb a few feet, stop for a while, and gradually get closer, but you can hear the noise of people, and there are quite a lot of people gathered around the fire.You TanZhi has been tormented these days, he never dared to be careless, the closer he got to the fire, the slower he crawled, he climbed behind a big rock, a few zhang away from the fire, he didn't dare to move forward, he crouched He leaned down and listened. Everyone around the fire stood up and spoke one by one.You TanZhi listened for a while, he heard that it was the members of the Beggar Clan's Great Wisdom Sub-Head gathered here to discuss who the Da Zhi Sub-Head would elect to be the leader of the Beggar Clan's meeting in the future, some advocated to push away Elder Song, some advocated to be elected Elder Wu.Another person said: "Speaking of wisdom and bravery, the leader of the gang should be promoted, but it's a pity that the leader of the gang gave Qiao Feng a fake job to help his own self, quit the gang, and the matter of returning to the gang has not been completed yet." Another person Humanity: "Qiao Feng's treacherous conspiracy was first uncovered by our rudder leader. Quan lord has made great contributions to the gang, and the matter of returning to the gang is very easy. Once the meeting is held, let's do it first. Then mention the great achievements made by Captain Quan that day, and then promote him as the leader of the gang." A clear voice said: "It is logical for me to join the gang. But the brothers want to promote me as the leader of the gang, this matter cannot be mentioned, otherwise, others will say that brothers have exposed Qiao Feng's conspiracy It's out of selfishness." One person said loudly: "Master Quan, if you have the right way, you must do your part. I see that although the elders of our gang are good at martial arts, none of them can match you when it comes to resourcefulness. We Dealing with Qiao Feng is a matter of wits but not strength, Quan Tuozhu..." The Quan Tuozhu said: "Brother Shi, I haven't officially joined the gang yet, so the word 'Quan Tuozhu' cannot be called .” The more than two hundred beggars around the fire said one after another: "Elder Song ordered you to remain as the rudder master for the time being. Why can't the word 'quan rudder master' be called?" If you become a gang leader, then you won’t care about the position of 'rudder master'." "Even if Quan Ruozhu is not a gang leader for the time being, at least he must be promoted to an elder, and I only hope that he will still be in charge of the helm at that time." "Yes, even if The rudder master Quan has become the guild master, and he can still be the rudder master of our great wisdom." Just as they were talking lively, a gang member walked quickly from the pass of the mountain and said, "I would like to inform the rudder master that Prince Duan of the Dali Kingdom is here to visit." The rudder master Quan Guanqing immediately stood up and said, "Dali Kingdom Prince Duan? This gang has never had any dealings with Dali." He said loudly, "Brothers, the Duan family in Dali is a famous family of martial arts. Prince Duan personally paid a visit, and everyone greeted him." Immediately led the gang, Welcome to the col. I saw a young gentleman standing on the ground smiling, with seven or eight servants behind him.That young master is Duan Yu.The two bowed their hands to salute, but they were familiar with each other, they had met in the apricot forest in Wuxi that day.Quan Guanqing didn't know the origin of Duan Yu's identity at the time, but now he remembered that Duan Yu saw the shame of expelling Qiao Feng from the gang that day, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but then calmed down, cupped his fists and said: Prince Duan came to visit, but he did not welcome him far away, please forgive me." Duan Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. Wansheng was ordered by his father to tell your gang about something, but he interrupted you." The two exchanged a few polite words.Duan Yu introduced Gu Ducheng, Fu Sigui and Zhu Danchen who accompanied him.Quan Guanqing invited Duan Yu to sit down on a rock in front of the fire, and offered wine to the crowd. Duan Yu took the drink and said: "A few months ago, my father encountered a strange incident at the mansion of the old deputy head Ma of the noble clan in Xinyang, Zhongzhou. He witnessed the death of the elder Bai Shijing of the noble clan with his own eyes. Although the relationship is important, it also involves the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts. I have always wanted to tell the leaders of your gang. It's just that my father suffered some injuries and will take care of him until he recovers. However, the whereabouts of the elders of your clan are uncertain, and we haven't been able to meet them. My father The letter I edited was still unable to be delivered. A few days ago, I learned that Guiduo was going to have a party here, so I ordered Wansheng to come here." He took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up, and handed it over. Quan Guanqing also stood up, took it with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Prince Duan personally delivered the letter, and the affection of Prince Duan is so dear to me." Seeing that the letter was tightly sealed, it said "The elders of the Beggar Clan have personally signed the eight characters", thinking that it would be inconvenient for me to open it for reading, and said: "Our Clan will hold a meeting soon, and all the elders will attend the meeting. I will deliver the big letter from Prince Duan to all the elders. ’” Duan Yu said: “It’s been so much work, I’ll take my leave later.” Quan Guanqing quickly thanked him, sent them out, and said: "Unfortunately, my elder Bai and Mrs. Ma were murdered by the traitor Qiao Feng. Did Prince Duan witness this tragedy that day?" Duan Yu shook his head and said, "Elder Bai and Mrs. Ma are not Joe Eldest brother was killed, and there were other people who killed Deputy Chief Ma. In this letter from my father, it is clearly written. In the future, Master Quan will know the details after reading the letter." It's a long story, you are not a good person, so I don't need to tell you more. I don't think you dare to hide this letter from my father." Xiang Quan Guanqing cupped his fists and said: "There will be a time later, so I will send it away without trouble." He turned around and walked to the mouth of the mountain, and saw two beggar gang members coming with two men. The two men exchanged winks, walked up a few steps, bowed to Duan Yu, and presented a red card. Duan Yu took a look and saw four lines written on the post: "Su Xinghe would like to invite all talented chess masters in the world to come to Leigu Mountain, Henan Province on the 8th day of the 8th day of the 8th day of the 8th day of the second lunar month for a speech." Duan Yusu likes to play chess, when he saw these four lines, his spirits lifted, and he said happily: "That's very good, if Wansheng is free from secular duties, he will definitely come then. But I don't know how the two of you know that Wansheng can play chess?" The two men had happy faces, babbling and gesticulating vigorously, it turned out that they were both dumb.Duan Yu couldn't understand the gestures of the two of them, he smiled slightly, and asked Zhu Danchen, "Leigu Mountain is not far away, is it?" and handed the post to him. Zhu Danchen took it over and took a look, first clasped his fists to the two men and said, "Young Master Duan, the eldest son of the Southern King of Dali Town, pay homage to Mr. Congbian, first of all, I would like to thank you, and I will invite you to visit me at that time." Pointing to Duan Yu, do He made a few gestures, expressing permission to come to the meeting. The two men bowed to Duan Yu and then took out another name card and presented it to Quan Guanqing. Quan Guanqing took it and looked at it, handed it back respectfully, and said with a wave of his hand: "The beggar gang's great wisdom sub-helm is temporarily in charge of the helm. Go to the meeting, Mr. Congbian, please forgive me." The two men bowed and saluted Duan Yu, then turned and left. Only then did Zhu Danchen answer Duan Yu: "Leigu Mountain is in the south of Song County and northeast of Qu Yuangang, so it's not too far away."
Duan Yu said goodbye to Quan Guanqing, went out of the depression, and asked Zhu Danchen: "Who is Mr. Congbian Su Xinghe? Is he a chess player from the Central Plains?" Zhu Danchen said: "Mr. Congbian is deaf-mute gentlemen." Duan Yu said "ah", the name of "Mr. Deaf-mute", he had heard his uncle and father mention it when he was in Dali, and he knew that he was a master of martial arts in the Central Plains, deaf and dumb, but it is said that his martial arts are very high, When his uncle mentioned him, his tone was quite respectful.Zhu Danchen said again: "Mr. deaf-mute has a disability, but he still wants to call himself 'Mr. Congbian'. Presumably he thinks that 'heart hearing' and 'writing debate' are better than ordinary people's 'ear hearing' and 'tongue debate'. .” Duan Yu nodded and said: “That makes sense.” After walking a few steps, he let out a long sigh. He heard Zhu Danchen say that Mr. Deaf-mute's "heart hearing" and "writing debate" are better than ordinary people's "ear hearing" and "tongue debate". . After he rescued the beggars in Wuxi and A Zhu, Bao BuTong and Feng BoE came to join Wang YuYan and others soon.The five of them wanted to go north to find Mr. Murong.Duan Yu naturally wanted to follow.Feng Bo felt bad for his virtue of inhaling scorpion poison, and he was very welcome.Bao Dong was extremely rude in his words, blaming Duan Yu for disguising himself as Mr. Murong and ruining his name, but after speaking, he revealed the meaning of "If you don't get out, I will fight", while Wang Yuyan was just Xu Xu and Feng Bo'e discussed where to find his cousin, but turned a blind eye to Duan Yu's predicament. Duan Yu had no choice but to break up with Wang Yuyan, but he also headed north, thinking: "You are going to Henan to find Murong Fu, and I happen to be going to Henan too. Henan Zhongzhou is not your Murong family, you Murong Fu is different from Bao Can I go, can I, Duan Yu, not go? If I happen to meet you again on the road, it is God's will, you Mr. Bao San can't blame me." But God obviously didn't want him and Wang Yuyan to meet again right away.During these months, Duan Yu wandered around Henan, calling it a trip to the mountains and rivers, but actually looking around, hoping to see a strand of Wang Yuyan's beautiful hair and a piece of clothing, but as for the good mountains and rivers, there was nothing into the eyes. One day, Duan Yu was in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, discussing the "Agama Sutra" with the abbot, and discussing the story of the Buddha saying "the holy king who turns the wheel has seven treasures".Duan Yu was very interested in the jade girl who is "neither long nor short, neither black nor white, warm in winter and cool in summer".The abbot and the monk shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Layman Duan, this is my Buddha's metaphor, not to mention the Buddha said that the seven treasures are impermanent..." Just as he was speaking, three people suddenly came to the temple, but they were Fu Sigui, Gu Ducheng, and Zhu Danchen. It turned out that after Duan Zhengchun left Ma's house in Xinyang, he got together with Ruan Xingzhu again and found another place to recuperate. Thinking of Xiao Feng being wronged by the beggar gang for killing Ma Dayuan, he had to defend him, so he wrote a letter and ordered Fu Sigui and the other three to send him to the beggars. help. When Fu Sigui and others came to Luoyang, they couldn't see the leaders of the beggar gang in the main rudder of the beggar gang. When they learned that the sub-helm of Dazhi was gathering nearby, they wanted to send the letter, but they heard someone talking about a son in a daze in the restaurant. His appearance and demeanor are quite similar to Duan Yu's. When he asked about the young master's whereabouts, he went to the White Horse Temple. The four of them were very happy to meet each other.Duan Yu said: "I accompanied you to deliver the letter, you quickly take me to visit my father." He knew that his father was in Henan, so he was eager to meet each other, but these days he hadn't heard any news from Wang Yuyan, Day and night, he was worried about seeing Wang Yuyan's beautiful face again in the place where the beggar gang's great wisdom and other figures of the world gather, but in the end, his hope was in vain. Seeing him heaving and sighing, Zhu Danchen also said that he was worried about Mu Wanqing, and there was no way to comfort him, thinking that it would be best to distract him, and said: "Mr. Gao. The young master has gone to see Queen Zhennan, so why not play a few rounds with Mr. Congbian." Duan Yu nodded and said: "Yes, playing black and white on the scale can relieve worries. It's just that although she is familiar with all kinds of martial arts in the world, and she has all-inclusive weapons in her chest, she can't play chess. Mr. Congbian's chess skills, she I won't be going." Zhu Danchen was puzzled, didn't know who he was talking about, and he was always absent-minded along the way, and he was not in the right place, but he was used to it, he had heard a lot, and he didn't ask right away. A group of people rode their horses to the northwest.Duan Yu frowned suddenly on the horse, suddenly nodded and smiled, and muttered to himself: "There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: 'When you think of a beautiful woman, her body is covered with pus and blood. After a hundred years, she will turn into bones." After a hundred years, it will turn into bones, and those bones will also be extremely beautiful." Just as she was imagining what the bones in Wang Yuyan's body looked like, suddenly she heard the sound of hooves behind her, and two horses galloped towards her.There is one person lying on each saddle, and it is not clear what kind of person they are in the darkness. The two horses seemed to be uninhibited and rushed straight towards Duan Yu and his party.Fu Sigui and Gu Ducheng stretched out their hands respectively and grabbed the reins of a galloping horse, only to see the rider on the horse's back remained motionless.Fu Sigui was slightly startled, and when he looked closely, he saw that the man was the messenger of the deaf-mute Mr., with a half-smile on his face, but he was already dead.Just a moment ago, this person had handed an invitation card to Duan Yu, why did he die so gracefully?The other one was also the emissary of Mr. Deaf and Mute, and died with such a strange smile on his face.When Fu Sigui and others saw it, they knew that the two were killed by the poison, they reined in their horses and backed away two steps, not daring to touch the two corpses. Duan Yu said angrily: "The helmsman surnamed Quan of the Beggar Gang is so vicious, why did he do this to someone? I'll argue with him." Turning his horse around, he wanted to go back and question Quan Guanqing. In the darkness in front of him, someone suddenly said: "You don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, you kid. In the whole world, except for the disciple of the old fairy Xingxiu, who else has the ability to kill people invisible? The deaf-mute old man hides obediently and becomes a turtle. That's all, if he comes out to the world, Elder XingXiu is determined to let him go. Hey, boy, this is none of your business, let me go quickly." Zhu Danchen said in a low voice: "My lord, this is a member of the Xingxiu Sect and has nothing to do with us, let's go." Duan Yu couldn't find Wang Yuyan, he was already bored, if the deaf-mute old man and the two envoys were in danger, he would go forward to rescue them bravely, since he is dead now, he didn't want to cause trouble, he sighed and said: "Single It’s not enough to be deaf and dumb. You have to be blind from the beginning, your nose can’t smell the fragrance, and your mind can’t change your mind, then you can get rid of afflictions.” What he said was that since he saw Wang Yuyan, her voice, smile, and every move were deeply imprinted in his heart, even if he was deaf and dumb, his lovesickness was unstoppable.Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side laughed loudly, clapped and shouted: "Yes, yes! You are right, you should poke his eyes, cut his nose, and beat him until he can't even change his mind." .” Duan Yu sighed: "External force is useless, it is useless, you have to practice yourself, 'Don't stop the color to generate the mind, don't stop the sound and fragrance to touch the law to generate the mind, you should have no place to live in the mind'. But if you can 'get away from all forms ', that is already a great Bodhisattva. How can ordinary people of my generation have such cultivation? 'Resentment and hatred meet, love is separated, nothing can be sought, and the five shades are blazing', this life is also suffering."
You TanZhi was lying in the grass behind the rock, saw Duan Yu and his party coming and going, and then heard someone shouting in front, at this moment, two Beggar Sect disciples rushed towards Quan Guan He said in a low voice, "Master Quan, those two mutes were beaten to death for some reason, and the person who did it claimed to be a member of the Xingxiu Sect or some other 'Xingxiu Old Immortal'." Quan Guanqing was taken aback, his expression changed immediately.He has always heard the name of the old monster Xingxiu Haixingxiu, this person is good at using poison and his martial arts are also extremely high, he thought: "His disciple killed the messenger of the deaf-mute old man, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't provoke him Yes." Then he said: "Understood, they fight ghosts, don't pay attention to it." Suddenly, someone in front of him said: "You bastard, you know I'm the disciple of Xingxiu old fairy, how dare you call me a ghost? You're impatient." Quan Guanqing was startled, and couldn't help but He took a step back, and under the firelight, he saw a person standing straight in front of him. He was one of his subordinates. When he looked intently again, this person seemed to be smiling but not smiling. There seemed to be another person standing behind him, and he shouted: "Your Excellency is Who, pretending to be a ghost, what are you doing here?" The person behind the beggar gang disciple said gloomyly: "You are so bold, you said the word 'ghost' again! I am the disciple of the old fairy Xingxiu. The old fairy Xingxiu came to the Central Plains, and now he will use twenty poisonous snakes, one hundred Poisonous insects. The poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in your beggar gang have always been prepared, so quickly offer them. The old fairy Xingxiu let you poor beggars go for the sake of your obedience and support. Otherwise, hehe, this person is a role model. " With a bang, the Beggar Clan disciple in front of him suddenly flew up and fell beside the fire, motionless, it turned out that he was already dead.The beggar gang disciple flew away, revealing a dwarf in Ge shirt, I don't know when he got close to him, killed the beggar gang disciple, and hid behind him. Quan Guanqing was startled and angry, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: "Old Monster Xingxiu has found the head of the Beggar Clan. If you don't give in to the matter in front of you, you will have to fight. Although this matter is dangerous, but If I offer poisonous snakes and poisonous insects based on his threat, the brothers in the gang will never look down on me again. I think it is hopeless to be the leader of the beggar gang, and I can't even gain a foothold in the gang. Fortunately, Xingxiu old monster is not My mistress is here, forgive him for being alone, don't be afraid of him." Immediately he said with a smile: "It turns out that a brother from the Xingxiu Sect has arrived, your surname is Gao?" The dwarf said: "My Dharma name is Sirius. Quickly prepare the poisonous snakes and insects." Quan Guanqing smiled and said: "Your Excellency wants poisonous snakes and insects, that's a trivial matter, don't worry about it." He picked up a cloth bag from the ground and said: "There are a few snakes here, Your Excellency, can the old fairy Xingxiu use them together?" ?” That dwarf Sirius was pleased when Quan Guanqing called him "Old Immortal Xingxiu", and seeing his respectful expression, he thought to himself: "What do you mean the beggar gang is the largest gang in the Central Plains? I was so scared that my bones crumbled. I took these poisonous snakes and venomous insects away. Master must be very happy and praised me for my ability to do things. After all, it is still due to Master’s reputation as an old man.” Immediately stretched his head to the bag. Open your mouth. Dou Ran's eyes went dark, the cloth bag had already covered his head, Sirius was shocked, he hurriedly waved his palm and patted, but the pat was empty, at this moment, his cheeks, forehead, and back of his neck twitched slightly at the same time. Pain, has been bitten by the poison in the bag.Tianlangzi didn't have time to tear off the cloth bag on his head, he slapped two palms hard, and ran wildly.He had a cloth bag on his head, he couldn't see anything, he slapped his palms vigorously, he felt that his head and face were being bitten again and again, when he was panicked, he just ran fast, suddenly his feet stepped on the ground, and he walked down the steep slope It rolled up and down, and with a plop, it fell into a river under the hillside and went downstream. Quan Guanqing originally wanted to kill him to silence him, but he would escape for him. Although his head and face were stung by a poisonous scorpion, and he fell into the river, most likely his life would be lost, but since the Xingxiu Sect used the poison without authorization, maybe he has the ability to detoxify Fa, who lives in Xingxiu Sea, is expected to know the nature of water, if this person does not die, the Xingxiu faction will definitely come to take revenge after getting the news.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's set up a giant python formation and fight against Xingxiu. Could it be that once Qiao Feng leaves, our beggar gang will not be able to stand on its own, and will be bullied by others from now on? To use weapons, fists and feet, one must be able to attack poison with poison." The group of beggars loudly said yes, and immediately dispersed in all directions, formed a formation a few feet away from the fire, and sat down cross-legged.
You TanZhi saw that Quan GuanQing beat Sirius away with a cloth bag, he thought to himself: "This man's cloth bag used to contain poison, did they have many cloth bags filled with poisonous snakes and insects? Beggars can catch snakes and insects, It's not surprising. If I can steal these cloth bags and give them to Miss Ah Zi, she will be very happy." Seeing that the group of beggars sat down silently, there are several cloth bags beside each of them, some bags are huge, and there is something wriggling in them, You TanZhi only felt hairy in his heart.At this time, the surroundings were silent, if I crawled away, I would be noticed by the group of beggars, I thought: "If they put a bag on my head, I have an iron cover to protect my head, so I am not afraid, but if I am stuffed in a big bag Among them, it would be terrible to put them together with those snakes and insects." 过了好几个时辰，始终并无动静，又过一会，天色渐渐亮了，跟着太阳出来，照得满山遍野一片明亮。枝头鸟声喧鸣之中，忽听得全冠清低声叫道：“来了，大家小心！”他盘膝坐在阵外一块岩石之旁，身旁却无布袋，手中握着一枝铁笛。 只听得西北方丝竹之声隐隐响起，一群人缓步过来，丝竹中夹着钟鼓之声，倒也悠扬动听。游坦之心道：“是娶新娘子吗？” 乐声渐近，来到十丈开外便即停住，有几人齐声说道：“星宿老仙法驾降临中原，丐帮弟子，快快上来跪接！”话声一停，咚咚咚咚的擂起鼓来。擂鼓三通，镗的一下锣声，鼓声止歇，数十人齐声说道：“恭请星宿老仙弘施大法，降服丐帮的幺魔小丑！” 游坦之心道：“这倒像是道士做法事。”悄悄从岩石后探出半个头张望，只见西北角上二十余人一字排开，有的拿着锣鼓乐器，有的手执长幡锦旗，红红绿绿的甚为悦目，远远望去，幡旗上绣着“星宿老仙”、“神通广大”、“法力无边”、“威震天下”等等字样。丝竹锣鼓声中，一个老翁缓步而出，他身后数十人列成两排，和他相距数丈，跟随在后。 那老翁手中摇着一柄鹅毛扇，阳光照在脸上，但见他脸色红润，满头白发，颏下三尺银髯，童颜鹤发，当真便如图画中的神仙人物一般。那老翁走到群丐约莫三丈之处便站定了不动，忽地撮唇力吹，发出几下尖锐之极的声音，羽扇一拨，将口哨之声送了出去，坐在地下的群丐登时便有四人仰天摔倒。 游坦之大吃一惊：“这星宿老仙果然法力厉害。” 那老翁脸露微笑，“滋”的一声叫，羽扇挥动，便有一名乞丐应声而倒。那老翁的口哨声似是一种无形有质的厉害暗器，片刻之间，丐帮阵中又倒了六七人。 只听得老翁身后的众人颂声大作：“师父功力，震烁古今，这些叫化儿和咱们作对，那真叫做萤火虫与日月争光！”“螳臂挡车，自不量力，可笑啊可笑！”“师父你老人家谈笑之间，便将一干幺魔小丑置之死地，如此摧枯拉朽般大获全胜，徒儿不但见所未见，直是闻所未闻。”“这是天下从所未有的丰功伟绩，若不是师父老人家露了这一手，中原武人还不知世上有这等功夫。”一片歌功颂德之声，洋洋盈耳，丝竹箫管也跟着吹奏。 忽听得嘘溜溜一声响，全冠清铁笛就口，吹了起来。游坦之心道：“他吹笛干什么？帮着为星宿老仙捧场吗？”忽听地下簌簌有声，大布袋中游出几条五彩斑斓的大蛇，笔直向那老翁游去。老翁身旁一群弟子惊叫起来：“有蛇，有毒蛇！”“啊哟，不好，来了这许多毒蛇！”“师父，这些毒蛇似是冲着咱们而来。”只见群丐布袋中纷纷游出毒蛇，有大有小，昂首吐舌，冲向那老翁和群弟子。众人更是七张八嘴的乱叫乱嚷。 星宿派众弟子提起钢杖，纷纷向蜿蜒而来的毒蛇砸去，只有那老翁神色自若，仍是撮唇作哨，挥扇攻敌。全冠清笛声不歇，群丐也跟着呐喊助威。 群蛇越来越多，片刻之间，这一干人身旁竟聚集了数百条，其中有五六条乃是大蟒。几条巨蟒游将近去，转过尾巴，登时卷住了两人，跟着又有两人被卷。星宿派群弟子若要拔足奔逃，群蛇自是追赶不上，但师尊正在迎敌，群弟子一步也不敢离开，只有舞动兵刃，乱砸乱斩，被他们打死的毒蛇少说已有八九十条，但被毒蛇咬伤的也已有七八人。那些巨蟒更是厉害，皮粗肉厚，被钢杖砸中了行若无事，身子一卷到人，越收越紧，再也不放。铁笛声中，从布袋中游出的巨蟒渐增，一共已有二十七八条。 那老翁见情势不对，想要退开，去攻击全冠清，两条小蛇猛地跃起，向他脸上咬去。他大声怒斥：“好大胆！”羽扇挥动，劲风扑出，将两条小蛇击落，突觉一件软物卷向足踝。他知道不妙，飞身而起，只听得嘘溜溜一响笛声，四条蟒蛇同时挥起长尾，向他卷了过来。那老翁身在半空，砰砰击出两掌，将前面和左边的两条蟒蛇击开，身形一晃，已落在两丈之外。便在此时，第三条、第四条巨蟒的长尾同时攻到。他情急之下，运劲又是一掌击出，掌风到处，登时将一条巨蟒的脑袋打得稀烂。 蛇群如潮涌至。那老翁又劈死了三条巨蟒，但腰间和右腿却被两条巨蟒缠住。他运起内力，大喝一声，伸指抓破了缠在腰间巨蟒的肚腹，只溅得满身都是鲜血。岂知蛇性最长，此蟒肚子虽穿，一时却不便死，吃痛之下，更猛力缠紧，只箍得那老翁腰骨几欲折断。他用力挣了两挣，跟着又有两条巨蟒甩了上来，在他身上绕了数匝，连他手臂也绕在其中，令他再也没法抗拒。游坦之在草丛中见到这般惊心动魄的情景，几乎连气也透不过来。 全冠清心下大喜，见一众敌人个个被巨蟒缠住，除了呻吟怒骂，再无反抗的能为，便不再吹笛，走上前去，笑吟吟的道：“星宿老怪，你星宿派和我丐帮素来河水不犯井水，好端端地干么惹到我们头上来？现今又怎么说？”
这个童颜鹤发的老翁，正是中原武林人士对之深恶痛绝的星宿老怪丁春秋。他因星宿派三宝之一的神木王鼎给女弟子阿紫盗去，连派数批弟子出去追捕，甚至连大弟子摘星子也遣了出去，但一次次飞鸽传书报来，均是十分不利。最后听说阿紫倚丐帮帮主乔峰为靠山，将摘星子伤得半死不活，丁春秋又惊又怒，知道丐帮是中原武林第一大帮，实非易与，又听到聋哑老人近年来在江湖上出头露面，颇有作为，这心腹大患不除，总是放心不下，夺回王鼎之后，正好乘此了结昔年的一桩大事，于是尽率派中弟子，亲自东来。 他所练的那门“化功大法”，经常要将毒蛇毒虫的毒质涂在手掌之上，吸入体内，若是七日不涂，不但功力减退，而且体内蕴积了数十年的毒质不得新毒克制，不免渐渐发作，为祸之烈，实是难以形容。那神木王鼎天生有一股特异气息，再在鼎中燃烧香料，片刻间便能诱引毒虫到来，方圆十里之内，什么毒虫也抵不住这香气的吸引。丁春秋有了这奇鼎在手，捕捉毒虫不费吹灰之力，“化功大法”自是越练越深，越练越精。当年丁春秋有一名得意弟子，得他传授，修习化功大法，颇有成就，岂知后来自恃能耐，对他居然不甚恭顺。丁春秋将他制住后，也不加以刀杖刑罚，只是将他囚禁在一间石屋之中，令他无法捉虫豸加毒，结果体内毒素发作，难熬难当，忍不住将自己全身肌肉一片片的撕落，呻吟呼号，四十余日方死。星宿老怪得意之余，心下也颇为戒惧，而化功大法也不再传授任何门人。因此摘星子等人都是不会，阿紫想得此神功，非暗中偷学、盗鼎出走不可。 阿紫工于心计，在师父刚捕完毒那天辞师东行，待得星宿老怪发觉神木王鼎被盗，已在七天之后，阿紫早已去得远了。她走的多是偏僻小路，追拿她的众师兄武功虽比她为高，智计却远所不及，给她虚张声势、声东击西的连使几个诡计，一一都撇了开去。 星宿老怪所居之地是阴暗潮湿的深谷，毒蛇毒虫繁殖甚富，神木王鼎虽失，要捉些毒虫来加毒，倒也不是难事，但寻常毒虫易捉。要像从前这般，每次捕到的都是希奇古怪、珍异厉害的剧毒虫豸，却是可遇不可求了。更有一件令他担心之事，只怕中原的高手识破了王鼎的来历，谁都会立即将之毁去，是以一日不追回，一日便不能安心。 他在陕西境内和一众弟子相遇。大弟子摘星子幸而尚保全一条性命，却已武功全失，被众弟子一路上殴打侮辱，虐待得人不像人，二弟子狮鼻人狮吼子暂时接领了大师兄的职位。众弟子见到师父亲自出马，又惊又怕，均想师命不能完成，这场责罚定是难当之极，幸好星宿老怪正在用人之际，将责罚暂且寄下，要各人戴罪立功。 众人一路上打探丐帮的消息。一来各人生具异相，言语行动无不令人厌憎，谁也不愿以消息相告；二来萧峰到了辽国，官居南院大王，武林中真还少有人知，是以竟然打听不到半点确讯，连丐帮的总舵移到何处也查究不到。 这一日天狼子无意中听到丐帮大智分舵聚会的讯息，为要立功，竟迫不及待的孤身闯了来，中了全冠清的暗算。总算他体内本来蕴有毒质，蝎子毒他不死，逃得性命后急忙禀告师父。丁春秋当即赶来，不料空具一身剧毒和深湛武功，竟致巨蟒缠身，动弹不得。
丁春秋不答全冠清的问话，冷冷的道：“你们丐帮中有个人名叫乔峰，他在哪里？快叫他来见我。”全冠清心中一动，问道：“阁下要见乔峰，为了何事？”丁春秋傲然道：“星宿老仙问你的话，你怎地不答？却来向我问长问短。乔峰呢？” 全冠清见他身子被巨蟒缠住，早已失了抗拒之力，说话却仍这般傲慢，如此悍恶之人，当真天下少有，便道：“星宿老怪天下皆闻，哪知道不过是徒负虚名，连几条小小蛇儿也对付不了。今日对不起，我们可要为天下除一大害了。” 丁春秋微微一笑，说道：“老夫不慎，折在你这些冷血畜生手下，今日魂归西方极乐，也是命该如此……” 他话未说完，一个被巨蟒缠住了的星宿弟子忽然叫道：“丐帮的大英雄，请你放了我出来，会有大大的好处。我师父诡计甚多，你防不胜防。你一个不小心，便着了他的道儿。”全冠清冷冷的道：“放了你有什么好处？”那人道：“我星宿派共有三件宝物，叫做星宿三宝。只有星宿老怪和我知道收藏的所在。你饶了我性命，待你杀了这星宿老怪之后，我自然取出献上。倘若你将我杀了，这星宿三宝你就永远得不到了。” 另一名星宿弟子大叫：“大英雄，大英雄，你莫上他的当！星宿三宝之中，有一宝早给人盗去了。你还是放我的好。只有我才对你忠心，决不骗你。” 霎时之间，星宿派群弟子纷纷叫嚷起来：“丐帮的大英雄，你饶我性命最好，他们都不会对你忠心，只有我死心塌地，为你效劳。”“大英雄，星宿派本门功夫，我所知最多，我定会一古脑儿的都说了出来，决不会有半点藏私。”“本派人众来到中原，实有重大图谋，主要便是为了对付你们丐帮。众位大英雄，你们想不想知道详情？”“咱们在星宿海之旁藏有无数金银财宝，我知道每一处藏宝的所在。我带你们去挖掘出来，丐帮的英雄好汉从此不必再讨饭了。”这些人七张八嘴，献媚和效忠之言有若潮涌，有的动之以利，有的企图引起对方好奇之心，有的更是公然撒谎，荒诞不经。有些弟子已被毒蛇咬伤，或已给巨蟒缠得奄奄一息的，也均唯恐落后，上气不接下气的争相求饶。 群丐万想不到星宿派弟子竟如此没骨气，既是鄙视，又感好奇，纷纷走近倾听。全冠清冷冷的道：“你们对自己师父也不忠心，又怎能对素无渊源的外人忠心？岂不可笑？” 一名星宿弟子道：“不同，不同，大大的不同。星宿老怪本领低微，我跟了他有什么出息？对他忠心有何好处？丐帮的大英雄武功威震天下，又有驱蛇制敌的大法术，岂是星宿老怪所能比拟？”“是啊，丐帮收容了星宿派的众弟子，西域和中原群雄震动，谁不佩服丐帮英雄了得？”“'英雄'二字，不足以称众位高人侠士，须得称'大侠'、'圣人'、'世人救星'才是！”“我能言善道，今后去周游四方，为众位宣扬德威，丐帮大侠的名望就天下无不知闻了。”“呸，丐帮大侠的名头早已天下皆知，何必要你去多说？”“'圣人'、'世人救星'的称号，是小人第一个说出来的。他们拾我牙慧，毫无功劳。” 一名丐帮的五袋弟子皱眉道：“你们这批卑鄙小人，叫叫嚷嚷的令人生厌。星宿老怪，你怎地如此没出息，尽收些无耻之徒做弟子？我先送了你的终，再叫这些家伙一个个追随于你，老子今日要大开杀戒了！”说着呼的一掌，便向丁春秋击去。 这一掌势挟疾风，劲道甚是刚猛，正中丁春秋胸口。哪知丁春秋浑若无事，那乞丐却双膝一软，倒在地下，蜷成一团，微微抽搐了两下，便一动不动了。群丐大惊，齐叫：“怎么啦？”便有两名乞丐伸手去拉他起身。这两人一碰到他身子，便摇晃几下，倒了下去。旁边三名丐帮弟子自然而然的出手相扶，但一碰到这二人，便也跌倒。其余帮众无不惊得呆了，不敢再伸手去碰跌倒的同伴。 全冠清喝道：“这老儿身上有毒，大家不可碰他身子。放暗器！” 八九名四五袋弟子同时掏出暗器，钢镖、飞刀、袖箭、飞蝗石，纷纷向丁春秋射去。丁春秋一声大喝，脑袋急转，满头白发甩了出去，便似一条短短的软鞭，将十来件暗器反击出来。但听得“啊哟”、“啊哟”连声，六七名丐帮帮众被暗器击中。这些暗器也非尽数击中要害，有的擦破一些皮肉，但几名乞丐立时软瘫而死。 全冠清大叫：“退开，退开！”突然呼的一声，一枝钢镖激射而至，却是丁春秋将头发裹住了钢镖，运劲向他射来。全冠清忙挥手中铁笛格打，当的一声，将钢镖击得远远飞了出去。他想这星宿老怪果然厉害，只有驱蟒制其死命，当即将铁笛凑到口边，待要吹奏，蓦地里嘴上一麻，登时头晕目眩，心知不妙，急忙抛下铁笛，便已咕咚一声，仰天摔倒。 群丐大惊，当即有两人抢上扶起。全冠清迷迷糊糊的叫道：“我……我中了毒，大……大伙快……快……快……去……”群丐早已吓得魂飞魄散，拥着他飞也似的急奔而逃，于满地尸骸、布袋、毒蛇，再也不敢理会。
游坦之蹲在草丛之中，惊疑无已，不敢稍动。四下里一片寂静，十余名乞丐都缩成了一个圆球，便如是一只只遇到了敌人的刺猬，显然均已毙命。 那些巨蟒不经全冠清再以笛声相催，不会伤人，只是紧紧缠住了丁春秋师徒。星宿派众人谁都不敢挣扎动弹，惟恐激起蛇儿的凶性，随口咬将下来。 这么静了片刻，有人首先说道：“师父，你老人家神功独步天下，谈笑之间，随手便将这批万恶不赦的叫化儿杀得落荒而逃……”他话未说完，另一名弟子抢着说道：“师父，你莫听他放屁，刚才说那些叫化儿是'大侠'、'圣人'的就是他。”又有一名弟子道：“咱们追随师父这许多年，岂不知师父有通天彻地之能？刚才跟那些叫化儿胡说八道，全是骗骗他们的，好让他们不防，以便师父施展无边法力。” 忽然有人放声大哭，说道：“师父，师父！弟子该死，弟子胡涂，为了贪生怕死，竟向敌人投降，此时悔之莫及，宁愿死在毒蟒的口下，再也不敢向师父求饶了。” 群弟子登时省悟：师父最不喜欢旁人文过饰非，只有痛斥自己胡涂该死，将各种各样的罪名乱加在自己头上，或许方能得到师父开恩饶恕。一霎时间，人人抢着大骂自己，说自己如何居心不良，如何罪该万死。只将草丛中的游坦之听得头昏脑胀，莫名其妙。 丁春秋暗运劲力，想将缠在身上的三条巨蟒崩断。但巨蟒身子可伸可缩。丁春秋运力崩断，蟒身只略加延伸，并不会断。丁春秋遍体是毒，衣服头发上也是凝聚剧毒。群丐向他击打或发射暗器，尽皆沾毒。但巨蟒皮坚厚韧滑，毒素难以侵入。只听得群弟子还在唠叨不停，丁春秋怒道：“有谁想得出驱蛇之法，我就饶了他性命。难道你们还不知道我的脾气？有谁对我有用，我便不加诛杀。你们老是胡说八道，更有何用？” 此言一出，群弟子登时静了下来。过了一会，有人说道：“只要有人拿个火把，向这些蟒蛇身上烧去，这些畜生便逃之夭夭了。”丁春秋骂道：“放你娘的臭屁！这里旷野之地，前不把村，后不把店，有谁经过？就算有乡民路过，他们见到这许多毒蛇，吓得逃走也来不及，哪里还肯拿火把来烧？”跟着别的弟子又乱出主意，但每一个主意都不着边际，各人所以不停说话，只不过向师父拚命讨好，显得自己确是遵从师命在努力思索而已。 这样过了良久，有一名弟子给一条巨蟒缠得实在喘不过气来了，昏乱中张口向蟒蛇身上咬去。那蟒蛇吃痛，张口向他咽喉反咬，那弟子惨呼一声，登时毙命。 丁春秋越来越焦急，倘若被敌人所困，这许久之间，他定能下毒行诡，设法脱身，偏偏这些蛇儿无知无识，再巧妙的计策也使不到它们身上，只怕这些巨蟒肚饿起来，一口将自己吞了下去。 他担心的事果真便即出现，一条巨蟒久久不闻笛声，肚中却已饿得厉害，张开大口，咬住了所缠住的一名星宿弟子。那弟子大叫：“师父救我，师父救我！”两条腿已被那巨蟒吞入了口中，他身子不住的给吸入巨蟒腹中，嘴中兀自惨叫。蟒蛇的牙齿形作倒钩，那星宿派弟子腿脚先入蛇口，慢慢的给吞至腰间，又吞至胸口，他一时未死，高声惨呼，震动旷野。 众人均知自己转眼间便要步他后尘，无不吓得心胆俱裂。有一人见星宿老怪也是束手无策，不禁恼恨起来，开口痛骂，说都是受他牵累，自己好端端的在星宿海旁牧羊为生，却被他威胁利诱，逼入门下，今日惨死于毒蛇之口，到了阴间，定要向阎王狠狠告他一状。 这人开端一骂，其余众弟子也都纷纷喝骂起来。各人平素受尽星宿老怪的荼毒虐待，无不怀恨在心，只是敢怒而不敢言而已，今日反正是同归于尽，痛骂一番，也好稍泄胸中的怒气。
Such a lazy act in the room saved You TanZhi's life.It turned out that as soon as You Tanzhi's finger was bitten by the ice silkworm, he immediately used the method of "Yi Jin Jing" to dissolve the poisonous gas, after the blood was sucked into the body by the ice silkworm, it went back into the veins of his finger, dispelling the extremely poisonous ice silkworm. The silkworm essence is absorbed into the body.Ah Zi sucked the blood of the ice silkworm again, but it was useless, it was only a waste of hard work.If You Tanzhi had already practiced all the exercises in "Yi Jin Jing", he would be able to gradually eliminate the poison of the ice silkworm, but he only learned one method, he could not get out of it.This ice silkworm's strange poison is the first quality of Yin and cold, it immediately froze him to death. If he is buried in the soil in the room, even after hundreds of years, it may not be convenient, and he will definitely become a zombie.At this time, he fell into the stream and flowed slowly. After more than ten miles, the stream turned and his body was stopped by the reeds beside the stream.After a while, the stream beside him froze, turning into a crystal coffin.The stream water continued to rush and wash away the coldness in his body bit by bit, and finally the ice outside his body slowly melted. Fortunately, he was wearing an iron mask, and the iron heats up quickly, but also cools down quickly, so the ice inside and outside the iron mask melted first.He coughed for a while because of the rush of the stream, and when he regained consciousness, he climbed up from the stream, with many ice cubes remaining all over his body.When the body first turned into ice, it wasn't completely unconscious, it was just frozen in the ice and unable to move.Later, he finally passed out from the cold, and at this moment, his narrow escape was like a big dream. Sitting by the stream, he thought of how loyal he was to Ah Zi, willing to feed the poisonous insects with his body and help her practice, but after his death, Ah Zi didn't even sigh.He looked out from the ice and saw her smilingly taking out the ice silkworm blood and applying it on her palms to practice. He just looked at him sideways, but felt that his death was interesting and strange, and he had no regrets at all. He thought again: "The ice silkworm has such a strong poison that it is stronger than thousands of poisonous insects and snakes. After the girl inhales it into her palm, she has definitely mastered her poisonous palm. If I go back to see her..." All of a sudden, my body trembled. , shivered, and thought: "When she sees me, she will definitely use me to try her poisonous palm. If she can master the poisonous palm, she will kill me with one palm. If she hasn't practiced it well, she will kill me again." Tell me to catch poisonous snakes and insects until she masters her poisonous palm and can beat me to death with a single blow. The left and right are dead, so what do I go back for?" He stood up, jumped a few times, shook the ice off his body, and thought: "But where should I go?" Asking Qiao Feng to avenge his father's death was something that he dared not even think about.I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I just wandered in the wilderness and barren mountains, picking wild fruits, and catching birds and small animals for food.In the evening of the second day, when I was bored, I took out the Sanskrit "Yi Jin Jing", trying to imitate the posture of the naked monk in the picture. The book was soaked in the stream, and it was still wet. He flipped it carefully for fear of breaking the pages, but he saw a figure of a strange monk suddenly appeared on each page, with different postures.He contemplated for a long time, and finally understood that the pictures in the book would appear when wet, and it was not the bodhisattva who appeared to save his life, so he followed the pictures on the first page, followed the pattern, and even followed the little red arrow in the strange characters. I felt an extremely cold line of ice running through my limbs, as if the ice silkworm had revived and crawled inside my body.He became frightened and hurriedly stood up straight, the ice silkworms in his body disappeared immediately. For the next two hours, he just thought: "Is the cold silkworm that got into my body gone?" But he couldn't touch it, couldn't touch it, disappeared without a trace, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and started to make strange postures again. , according to the little red arrow in the strange character, after a while, the ice silkworm crawled inside the body again.He let out a loud cry, and if he didn't have any more thoughts in his mind, the ice silkworm would disappear, and if he missed it again, the ice silkworm would crawl again. Every time the ice silkworm crawls for a while, its whole body feels indescribably comfortable.There are many poses of naked monks in the book, and the small arrows in the strange characters also twist and turn, with complicated changes.He summoned the ice silkworms according to different postures, his body fluctuated from cold to warm, each with different comfort. After several months like this, when catching animals, I gradually realized that my hands and feet are light and nimble, the distance I can jump, and the speed of running are far beyond what I could before. One night, a hungry wolf came out to look for food and pounced on him.You TanZhi was startled, he was about to run away, the hungry wolf's sharp claws were on his shoulders, its sharp teeth were exposed, biting towards his throat.In panic, he casually slapped the hungry wolf on the head.The hungry wolf rolled over, twisted a few times, and then stopped moving.You TanZhi turned around and fled for a few zhang, seeing the wolf still not moving, he was very surprised, he picked up a stone and threw it, the stone hit the wolf's body, the wolf still didn't move.Surprised, he tiptoed over and saw that the wolf was dead.He never imagined that such a casual palm of his own could be so powerful, he turned his palm over and over carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual, and couldn't help shouting: "The ghost of the ice silkworm is really alive!" He only thought that after the death of the ice silkworm, the ghost entered into his body to show its great power, but he didn't know that it was purely due to the work of "Yi Jin Jing", and that the ice silkworm is a rare and highly poisonous thing in the world, this poisonous force The yin and cold were sucked into his body by him, and he practiced the superior inner strength contained in the "Yi Jin Jing", and the inner strength was filled with extremely sharp Yin energy. This "Yi Jin Jing" is indeed the supreme treasure book in martial arts, but the way to practice it is not easy, you have to find out "self-awareness and human appearance", and you don't have the idea of practicing martial arts in your heart.But monks who practice this superior martial art must be brave and diligent in order to achieve success. Who doesn't want to benefit from the practice as soon as possible?It is indeed extremely difficult to "have nothing to live in".For hundreds of years in Shaolin Temple, there have been quite a few eminent monks who have practiced the "Yi Jin Jing", but after years of hard work, they often get nothing, so the monks thought that this sutra was not effective, and it was stolen by A Zhu that day. Go, although the eminent monks in the temple were angry, they didn't take it as a big deal.More than a hundred years ago, there was a monk in Shaolin Temple who became a monk since he was a child. He was mentally dull and crazy.His master failed to study the "Yi Jin Jing" hard, and he sat down in anger.The crazy monk picked up the scriptures next to his master's body, practiced happily, and became a master of the generation.But why his martial art is so strong, until he passed away and returned to the west, he still can't explain why, and others don't know that it is the merit of "Yi Jin Jing".At this moment You TanZhi didn't intend to practice martial arts, he just called the ice silkworms in his body to come and go, just looking for fun and play, unknowingly his martial arts improved day by day, he just walked on the old path of the mad monk back then. In the next few days, he killed several wild beasts one after another. Knowing that his palm was very strong, his courage gradually grew, and he kept heading south. He was afraid that one day he would not call the ghost of the ice silkworm, "silkworm ghost." " will leave oneself, so the daily call does not dare to be interrupted.The "silkworm ghost" also came at the beck and call, it was extremely supernatural. You TanZhi gradually traveled southwards, this day he reached the border of Zhongzhou Henan.He knew that the iron head was terrifying, so he only slept in the wild caves and forests during the day, and only came out to steal food from others when it was dark.At that time, his skills were already extremely agile, and no one noticed him. One day he was sleeping in a small dilapidated temple by the side of the road, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and three people entered the temple. He hurriedly hid behind the shrine, not daring to meet anyone.Hearing that the three people walked up to the hall, they sat down on the spot and began to eat something.The three of them chattered about some gossip about the world, and suddenly one of them asked: "Where did you say that guy Qiao Feng is hiding? Why haven't you heard anything from him for more than a year?" You Tanzhi heard the word "Qiao Feng", his heart shivered, he immediately focused on it.I only heard another person say: "This guy has done a lot of evil and has become a turtle. I'm afraid I can't find him again." The first person said: "That's not necessarily the case. He is waiting for an opportunity, just waiting for someone to place an order. He just did this for a while. Do the math, how many people did he kill after the battle at Juxian Village? Elder Xu, Tan Gong and Tan Po and his wife, Zhao Qiansun, the iron-faced judge Shan Laoying's family, Tiantai Mountain Zhiguang The old monk, Mrs. Ma from the Beggar Gang, Elder Bai Shijing, alas, I can’t even count them.” After You TanZhi heard the words "Ju Xian Zhuang Da Da", he felt sore in his heart, he didn't listen to the man's words from now on, after a while, he heard an old voice saying: "Sect Master Qiao always treats people with kindness and justice, Unexpected... oh...unexpected, this is really doomed. Let's go." He stood up. Another person said: "Old Wang, you said that the gang is going to push for a new leader, who will you push?" The old voice said: "I don't know! Pushing and pushing, it has been pushing for more than a year, but I can't push it." Come out with a hero that the whole gang admires, well, let's wait and see." Another person said: "I know what you're thinking, I always hope that Qiao Feng will come to be the leader of our gang again. Don't send such a message early. It’s a dream in Qingqiu, this word has reached Master Quan’s ears, I’m afraid your life will be in danger.” The old Wang was anxious, and said: “Xiao Bi, you said that, when did I say I hoped for Master Qiao? Come to be the leader of our clan again?" Xiao Bi sneered, "You keep saying that you are still the head of the Qiao clan, and the leader of the Qiao clan is not the leader, so you only hope that Qiao Feng will become the leader of the clan?" Old Wang said angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, Look, I won't beat you to death, you little bastard." The third person persuaded: "Okay, okay, everyone, brother, don't make a fuss about this, go quickly, don't be late. How can Qiao Feng come to be Our leader? He is a Khitan dog breed. Once you see him, you will have to fight him to the death. Besides, even if you invite him to be the leader, will he be willing to be the leader?" Lao Wang sighed and said: " That's true." Saying that, the three of them walked out of the temple. You TanZhi thought: "The beggar gang wanted to find Qiao Feng, but they couldn't find it anywhere, how would they know that this guy became the king of the Southern Courtyard in Liao Kingdom. I'll tell them right away. There are so many people in the beggar gang. If we invite a group of heroes from the Central Plains, we may be able to kill this villain. I will go with them to kill Qiao Feng." Thinking of seeing Ah Zi when he was in Nanjing, his chest felt hot. He came out of the temple on tiptoe and saw the three Beggar Clan disciples walking west along the mountain path, so they quietly followed behind.At this time it was dark and there was no one on the barren hills, after walking for a few miles, they came to a mountain depression, and saw a big fire burning in the valley from a distance, You Tanzhi thought: "My iron head is very strange, they must see it when they see it. Make a big fuss, and hide in the grass to listen to what you say." Drilling into the long grass, he slowly crawled closer to the fire.Climb a few feet, stop for a while, and gradually get closer, but you can hear the noise of people, and there are quite a lot of people gathered around the fire.You TanZhi has been tormented these days, he never dared to be careless, the closer he got to the fire, the slower he crawled, he climbed behind a big rock, a few zhang away from the fire, he didn't dare to move forward, he crouched He leaned down and listened. Everyone around the fire stood up and spoke one by one.You TanZhi listened for a while, he heard that it was the members of the Beggar Clan's Great Wisdom Sub-Head gathered here to discuss who the Da Zhi Sub-Head would elect to be the leader of the Beggar Clan's meeting in the future, some advocated to push away Elder Song, some advocated to be elected Elder Wu.Another person said: "Speaking of wisdom and bravery, the leader of the gang should be promoted, but it's a pity that the leader of the gang gave Qiao Feng a fake job to help his own self, quit the gang, and the matter of returning to the gang has not been completed yet." Another person Humanity: "Qiao Feng's treacherous conspiracy was first uncovered by our rudder leader. Quan lord has made great contributions to the gang, and the matter of returning to the gang is very easy. Once the meeting is held, let's do it first. Then mention the great achievements made by Captain Quan that day, and then promote him as the leader of the gang." A clear voice said: "It is logical for me to join the gang. But the brothers want to promote me as the leader of the gang, this matter cannot be mentioned, otherwise, others will say that brothers have exposed Qiao Feng's conspiracy It's out of selfishness." One person said loudly: "Master Quan, if you have the right way, you must do your part. I see that although the elders of our gang are good at martial arts, none of them can match you when it comes to resourcefulness. We Dealing with Qiao Feng is a matter of wits but not strength, Quan Tuozhu..." The Quan Tuozhu said: "Brother Shi, I haven't officially joined the gang yet, so the word 'Quan Tuozhu' cannot be called .” The more than two hundred beggars around the fire said one after another: "Elder Song ordered you to remain as the rudder master for the time being. Why can't the word 'quan rudder master' be called?" If you become a gang leader, then you won’t care about the position of 'rudder master'." "Even if Quan Ruozhu is not a gang leader for the time being, at least he must be promoted to an elder, and I only hope that he will still be in charge of the helm at that time." "Yes, even if The rudder master Quan has become the guild master, and he can still be the rudder master of our great wisdom." Just as they were talking lively, a gang member walked quickly from the pass of the mountain and said, "I would like to inform the rudder master that Prince Duan of the Dali Kingdom is here to visit." The rudder master Quan Guanqing immediately stood up and said, "Dali Kingdom Prince Duan? This gang has never had any dealings with Dali." He said loudly, "Brothers, the Duan family in Dali is a famous family of martial arts. Prince Duan personally paid a visit, and everyone greeted him." Immediately led the gang, Welcome to the col. I saw a young gentleman standing on the ground smiling, with seven or eight servants behind him.That young master is Duan Yu.The two bowed their hands to salute, but they were familiar with each other, they had met in the apricot forest in Wuxi that day.Quan Guanqing didn't know the origin of Duan Yu's identity at the time, but now he remembered that Duan Yu saw the shame of expelling Qiao Feng from the gang that day, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but then calmed down, cupped his fists and said: Prince Duan came to visit, but he did not welcome him far away, please forgive me." Duan Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. Wansheng was ordered by his father to tell your gang about something, but he interrupted you." The two exchanged a few polite words.Duan Yu introduced Gu Ducheng, Fu Sigui and Zhu Danchen who accompanied him.Quan Guanqing invited Duan Yu to sit down on a rock in front of the fire, and offered wine to the crowd. Duan Yu took the drink and said: "A few months ago, my father encountered a strange incident at the mansion of the old deputy head Ma of the noble clan in Xinyang, Zhongzhou. He witnessed the death of the elder Bai Shijing of the noble clan with his own eyes. Although the relationship is important, it also involves the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts. I have always wanted to tell the leaders of your gang. It's just that my father suffered some injuries and will take care of him until he recovers. However, the whereabouts of the elders of your clan are uncertain, and we haven't been able to meet them. My father The letter I edited was still unable to be delivered. A few days ago, I learned that Guiduo was going to have a party here, so I ordered Wansheng to come here." He took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up, and handed it over. Quan Guanqing also stood up, took it with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Prince Duan personally delivered the letter, and the affection of Prince Duan is so dear to me." Seeing that the letter was tightly sealed, it said "The elders of the Beggar Clan have personally signed the eight characters", thinking that it would be inconvenient for me to open it for reading, and said: "Our Clan will hold a meeting soon, and all the elders will attend the meeting. I will deliver the big letter from Prince Duan to all the elders. ’” Duan Yu said: “It’s been so much work, I’ll take my leave later.” Quan Guanqing quickly thanked him, sent them out, and said: "Unfortunately, my elder Bai and Mrs. Ma were murdered by the traitor Qiao Feng. Did Prince Duan witness this tragedy that day?" Duan Yu shook his head and said, "Elder Bai and Mrs. Ma are not Joe Eldest brother was killed, and there were other people who killed Deputy Chief Ma. In this letter from my father, it is clearly written. In the future, Master Quan will know the details after reading the letter." It's a long story, you are not a good person, so I don't need to tell you more. I don't think you dare to hide this letter from my father." Xiang Quan Guanqing cupped his fists and said: "There will be a time later, so I will send it away without trouble." He turned around and walked to the mouth of the mountain, and saw two beggar gang members coming with two men. The two men exchanged winks, walked up a few steps, bowed to Duan Yu, and presented a red card. Duan Yu took a look and saw four lines written on the post: "Su Xinghe would like to invite all talented chess masters in the world to come to Leigu Mountain, Henan Province on the 8th day of the 8th day of the 8th day of the 8th day of the second lunar month for a speech." Duan Yusu likes to play chess, when he saw these four lines, his spirits lifted, and he said happily: "That's very good, if Wansheng is free from secular duties, he will definitely come then. But I don't know how the two of you know that Wansheng can play chess?" The two men had happy faces, babbling and gesticulating vigorously, it turned out that they were both dumb.Duan Yu couldn't understand the gestures of the two of them, he smiled slightly, and asked Zhu Danchen, "Leigu Mountain is not far away, is it?" and handed the post to him. Zhu Danchen took it over and took a look, first clasped his fists to the two men and said, "Young Master Duan, the eldest son of the Southern King of Dali Town, pay homage to Mr. Congbian, first of all, I would like to thank you, and I will invite you to visit me at that time." Pointing to Duan Yu, do He made a few gestures, expressing permission to come to the meeting. The two men bowed to Duan Yu and then took out another name card and presented it to Quan Guanqing. Quan Guanqing took it and looked at it, handed it back respectfully, and said with a wave of his hand: "The beggar gang's great wisdom sub-helm is temporarily in charge of the helm. Go to the meeting, Mr. Congbian, please forgive me." The two men bowed and saluted Duan Yu, then turned and left. Only then did Zhu Danchen answer Duan Yu: "Leigu Mountain is in the south of Song County and northeast of Qu Yuangang, so it's not too far away."
Duan Yu said goodbye to Quan Guanqing, went out of the depression, and asked Zhu Danchen: "Who is Mr. Congbian Su Xinghe? Is he a chess player from the Central Plains?" Zhu Danchen said: "Mr. Congbian is deaf-mute gentlemen." Duan Yu said "ah", the name of "Mr. Deaf-mute", he had heard his uncle and father mention it when he was in Dali, and he knew that he was a master of martial arts in the Central Plains, deaf and dumb, but it is said that his martial arts are very high, When his uncle mentioned him, his tone was quite respectful.Zhu Danchen said again: "Mr. deaf-mute has a disability, but he still wants to call himself 'Mr. Congbian'. Presumably he thinks that 'heart hearing' and 'writing debate' are better than ordinary people's 'ear hearing' and 'tongue debate'. .” Duan Yu nodded and said: “That makes sense.” After walking a few steps, he let out a long sigh. He heard Zhu Danchen say that Mr. Deaf-mute's "heart hearing" and "writing debate" are better than ordinary people's "ear hearing" and "tongue debate". . After he rescued the beggars in Wuxi and A Zhu, Bao BuTong and Feng BoE came to join Wang YuYan and others soon.The five of them wanted to go north to find Mr. Murong.Duan Yu naturally wanted to follow.Feng Bo felt bad for his virtue of inhaling scorpion poison, and he was very welcome.Bao Dong was extremely rude in his words, blaming Duan Yu for disguising himself as Mr. Murong and ruining his name, but after speaking, he revealed the meaning of "If you don't get out, I will fight", while Wang Yuyan was just Xu Xu and Feng Bo'e discussed where to find his cousin, but turned a blind eye to Duan Yu's predicament. Duan Yu had no choice but to break up with Wang Yuyan, but he also headed north, thinking: "You are going to Henan to find Murong Fu, and I happen to be going to Henan too. Henan Zhongzhou is not your Murong family, you Murong Fu is different from Bao Can I go, can I, Duan Yu, not go? If I happen to meet you again on the road, it is God's will, you Mr. Bao San can't blame me." But God obviously didn't want him and Wang Yuyan to meet again right away.During these months, Duan Yu wandered around Henan, calling it a trip to the mountains and rivers, but actually looking around, hoping to see a strand of Wang Yuyan's beautiful hair and a piece of clothing, but as for the good mountains and rivers, there was nothing into the eyes. One day, Duan Yu was in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, discussing the "Agama Sutra" with the abbot, and discussing the story of the Buddha saying "the holy king who turns the wheel has seven treasures".Duan Yu was very interested in the jade girl who is "neither long nor short, neither black nor white, warm in winter and cool in summer".The abbot and the monk shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Layman Duan, this is my Buddha's metaphor, not to mention the Buddha said that the seven treasures are impermanent..." Just as he was speaking, three people suddenly came to the temple, but they were Fu Sigui, Gu Ducheng, and Zhu Danchen. It turned out that after Duan Zhengchun left Ma's house in Xinyang, he got together with Ruan Xingzhu again and found another place to recuperate. Thinking of Xiao Feng being wronged by the beggar gang for killing Ma Dayuan, he had to defend him, so he wrote a letter and ordered Fu Sigui and the other three to send him to the beggars. help. When Fu Sigui and others came to Luoyang, they couldn't see the leaders of the beggar gang in the main rudder of the beggar gang. When they learned that the sub-helm of Dazhi was gathering nearby, they wanted to send the letter, but they heard someone talking about a son in a daze in the restaurant. His appearance and demeanor are quite similar to Duan Yu's. When he asked about the young master's whereabouts, he went to the White Horse Temple. The four of them were very happy to meet each other.Duan Yu said: "I accompanied you to deliver the letter, you quickly take me to visit my father." He knew that his father was in Henan, so he was eager to meet each other, but these days he hadn't heard any news from Wang Yuyan, Day and night, he was worried about seeing Wang Yuyan's beautiful face again in the place where the beggar gang's great wisdom and other figures of the world gather, but in the end, his hope was in vain. Seeing him heaving and sighing, Zhu Danchen also said that he was worried about Mu Wanqing, and there was no way to comfort him, thinking that it would be best to distract him, and said: "Mr. Gao. The young master has gone to see Queen Zhennan, so why not play a few rounds with Mr. Congbian." Duan Yu nodded and said: "Yes, playing black and white on the scale can relieve worries. It's just that although she is familiar with all kinds of martial arts in the world, and she has all-inclusive weapons in her chest, she can't play chess. Mr. Congbian's chess skills, she I won't be going." Zhu Danchen was puzzled, didn't know who he was talking about, and he was always absent-minded along the way, and he was not in the right place, but he was used to it, he had heard a lot, and he didn't ask right away. A group of people rode their horses to the northwest.Duan Yu frowned suddenly on the horse, suddenly nodded and smiled, and muttered to himself: "There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: 'When you think of a beautiful woman, her body is covered with pus and blood. After a hundred years, she will turn into bones." After a hundred years, it will turn into bones, and those bones will also be extremely beautiful." Just as she was imagining what the bones in Wang Yuyan's body looked like, suddenly she heard the sound of hooves behind her, and two horses galloped towards her.There is one person lying on each saddle, and it is not clear what kind of person they are in the darkness. The two horses seemed to be uninhibited and rushed straight towards Duan Yu and his party.Fu Sigui and Gu Ducheng stretched out their hands respectively and grabbed the reins of a galloping horse, only to see the rider on the horse's back remained motionless.Fu Sigui was slightly startled, and when he looked closely, he saw that the man was the messenger of the deaf-mute Mr., with a half-smile on his face, but he was already dead.Just a moment ago, this person had handed an invitation card to Duan Yu, why did he die so gracefully?The other one was also the emissary of Mr. Deaf and Mute, and died with such a strange smile on his face.When Fu Sigui and others saw it, they knew that the two were killed by the poison, they reined in their horses and backed away two steps, not daring to touch the two corpses. Duan Yu said angrily: "The helmsman surnamed Quan of the Beggar Gang is so vicious, why did he do this to someone? I'll argue with him." Turning his horse around, he wanted to go back and question Quan Guanqing. In the darkness in front of him, someone suddenly said: "You don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, you kid. In the whole world, except for the disciple of the old fairy Xingxiu, who else has the ability to kill people invisible? The deaf-mute old man hides obediently and becomes a turtle. That's all, if he comes out to the world, Elder XingXiu is determined to let him go. Hey, boy, this is none of your business, let me go quickly." Zhu Danchen said in a low voice: "My lord, this is a member of the Xingxiu Sect and has nothing to do with us, let's go." Duan Yu couldn't find Wang Yuyan, he was already bored, if the deaf-mute old man and the two envoys were in danger, he would go forward to rescue them bravely, since he is dead now, he didn't want to cause trouble, he sighed and said: "Single It’s not enough to be deaf and dumb. You have to be blind from the beginning, your nose can’t smell the fragrance, and your mind can’t change your mind, then you can get rid of afflictions.” What he said was that since he saw Wang Yuyan, her voice, smile, and every move were deeply imprinted in his heart, even if he was deaf and dumb, his lovesickness was unstoppable.Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side laughed loudly, clapped and shouted: "Yes, yes! You are right, you should poke his eyes, cut his nose, and beat him until he can't even change his mind." .” Duan Yu sighed: "External force is useless, it is useless, you have to practice yourself, 'Don't stop the color to generate the mind, don't stop the sound and fragrance to touch the law to generate the mind, you should have no place to live in the mind'. But if you can 'get away from all forms ', that is already a great Bodhisattva. How can ordinary people of my generation have such cultivation? 'Resentment and hatred meet, love is separated, nothing can be sought, and the five shades are blazing', this life is also suffering."
You TanZhi was lying in the grass behind the rock, saw Duan Yu and his party coming and going, and then heard someone shouting in front, at this moment, two Beggar Sect disciples rushed towards Quan Guan He said in a low voice, "Master Quan, those two mutes were beaten to death for some reason, and the person who did it claimed to be a member of the Xingxiu Sect or some other 'Xingxiu Old Immortal'." Quan Guanqing was taken aback, his expression changed immediately.He has always heard the name of the old monster Xingxiu Haixingxiu, this person is good at using poison and his martial arts are also extremely high, he thought: "His disciple killed the messenger of the deaf-mute old man, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't provoke him Yes." Then he said: "Understood, they fight ghosts, don't pay attention to it." Suddenly, someone in front of him said: "You bastard, you know I'm the disciple of Xingxiu old fairy, how dare you call me a ghost? You're impatient." Quan Guanqing was startled, and couldn't help but He took a step back, and under the firelight, he saw a person standing straight in front of him. He was one of his subordinates. When he looked intently again, this person seemed to be smiling but not smiling. There seemed to be another person standing behind him, and he shouted: "Your Excellency is Who, pretending to be a ghost, what are you doing here?" The person behind the beggar gang disciple said gloomyly: "You are so bold, you said the word 'ghost' again! I am the disciple of the old fairy Xingxiu. The old fairy Xingxiu came to the Central Plains, and now he will use twenty poisonous snakes, one hundred Poisonous insects. The poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in your beggar gang have always been prepared, so quickly offer them. The old fairy Xingxiu let you poor beggars go for the sake of your obedience and support. Otherwise, hehe, this person is a role model. " With a bang, the Beggar Clan disciple in front of him suddenly flew up and fell beside the fire, motionless, it turned out that he was already dead.The beggar gang disciple flew away, revealing a dwarf in Ge shirt, I don't know when he got close to him, killed the beggar gang disciple, and hid behind him. Quan Guanqing was startled and angry, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: "Old Monster Xingxiu has found the head of the Beggar Clan. If you don't give in to the matter in front of you, you will have to fight. Although this matter is dangerous, but If I offer poisonous snakes and poisonous insects based on his threat, the brothers in the gang will never look down on me again. I think it is hopeless to be the leader of the beggar gang, and I can't even gain a foothold in the gang. Fortunately, Xingxiu old monster is not My mistress is here, forgive him for being alone, don't be afraid of him." Immediately he said with a smile: "It turns out that a brother from the Xingxiu Sect has arrived, your surname is Gao?" The dwarf said: "My Dharma name is Sirius. Quickly prepare the poisonous snakes and insects." Quan Guanqing smiled and said: "Your Excellency wants poisonous snakes and insects, that's a trivial matter, don't worry about it." He picked up a cloth bag from the ground and said: "There are a few snakes here, Your Excellency, can the old fairy Xingxiu use them together?" ?” That dwarf Sirius was pleased when Quan Guanqing called him "Old Immortal Xingxiu", and seeing his respectful expression, he thought to himself: "What do you mean the beggar gang is the largest gang in the Central Plains? I was so scared that my bones crumbled. I took these poisonous snakes and venomous insects away. Master must be very happy and praised me for my ability to do things. After all, it is still due to Master’s reputation as an old man.” Immediately stretched his head to the bag. Open your mouth. Dou Ran's eyes went dark, the cloth bag had already covered his head, Sirius was shocked, he hurriedly waved his palm and patted, but the pat was empty, at this moment, his cheeks, forehead, and back of his neck twitched slightly at the same time. Pain, has been bitten by the poison in the bag.Tianlangzi didn't have time to tear off the cloth bag on his head, he slapped two palms hard, and ran wildly.He had a cloth bag on his head, he couldn't see anything, he slapped his palms vigorously, he felt that his head and face were being bitten again and again, when he was panicked, he just ran fast, suddenly his feet stepped on the ground, and he walked down the steep slope It rolled up and down, and with a plop, it fell into a river under the hillside and went downstream. Quan Guanqing originally wanted to kill him to silence him, but he would escape for him. Although his head and face were stung by a poisonous scorpion, and he fell into the river, most likely his life would be lost, but since the Xingxiu Sect used the poison without authorization, maybe he has the ability to detoxify Fa, who lives in Xingxiu Sea, is expected to know the nature of water, if this person does not die, the Xingxiu faction will definitely come to take revenge after getting the news.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's set up a giant python formation and fight against Xingxiu. Could it be that once Qiao Feng leaves, our beggar gang will not be able to stand on its own, and will be bullied by others from now on? To use weapons, fists and feet, one must be able to attack poison with poison." The group of beggars loudly said yes, and immediately dispersed in all directions, formed a formation a few feet away from the fire, and sat down cross-legged.
You TanZhi saw that Quan GuanQing beat Sirius away with a cloth bag, he thought to himself: "This man's cloth bag used to contain poison, did they have many cloth bags filled with poisonous snakes and insects? Beggars can catch snakes and insects, It's not surprising. If I can steal these cloth bags and give them to Miss Ah Zi, she will be very happy." Seeing that the group of beggars sat down silently, there are several cloth bags beside each of them, some bags are huge, and there is something wriggling in them, You TanZhi only felt hairy in his heart.At this time, the surroundings were silent, if I crawled away, I would be noticed by the group of beggars, I thought: "If they put a bag on my head, I have an iron cover to protect my head, so I am not afraid, but if I am stuffed in a big bag Among them, it would be terrible to put them together with those snakes and insects." 过了好几个时辰，始终并无动静，又过一会，天色渐渐亮了，跟着太阳出来，照得满山遍野一片明亮。枝头鸟声喧鸣之中，忽听得全冠清低声叫道：“来了，大家小心！”他盘膝坐在阵外一块岩石之旁，身旁却无布袋，手中握着一枝铁笛。 只听得西北方丝竹之声隐隐响起，一群人缓步过来，丝竹中夹着钟鼓之声，倒也悠扬动听。游坦之心道：“是娶新娘子吗？” 乐声渐近，来到十丈开外便即停住，有几人齐声说道：“星宿老仙法驾降临中原，丐帮弟子，快快上来跪接！”话声一停，咚咚咚咚的擂起鼓来。擂鼓三通，镗的一下锣声，鼓声止歇，数十人齐声说道：“恭请星宿老仙弘施大法，降服丐帮的幺魔小丑！” 游坦之心道：“这倒像是道士做法事。”悄悄从岩石后探出半个头张望，只见西北角上二十余人一字排开，有的拿着锣鼓乐器，有的手执长幡锦旗，红红绿绿的甚为悦目，远远望去，幡旗上绣着“星宿老仙”、“神通广大”、“法力无边”、“威震天下”等等字样。丝竹锣鼓声中，一个老翁缓步而出，他身后数十人列成两排，和他相距数丈，跟随在后。 那老翁手中摇着一柄鹅毛扇，阳光照在脸上，但见他脸色红润，满头白发，颏下三尺银髯，童颜鹤发，当真便如图画中的神仙人物一般。那老翁走到群丐约莫三丈之处便站定了不动，忽地撮唇力吹，发出几下尖锐之极的声音，羽扇一拨，将口哨之声送了出去，坐在地下的群丐登时便有四人仰天摔倒。 游坦之大吃一惊：“这星宿老仙果然法力厉害。” 那老翁脸露微笑，“滋”的一声叫，羽扇挥动，便有一名乞丐应声而倒。那老翁的口哨声似是一种无形有质的厉害暗器，片刻之间，丐帮阵中又倒了六七人。 只听得老翁身后的众人颂声大作：“师父功力，震烁古今，这些叫化儿和咱们作对，那真叫做萤火虫与日月争光！”“螳臂挡车，自不量力，可笑啊可笑！”“师父你老人家谈笑之间，便将一干幺魔小丑置之死地，如此摧枯拉朽般大获全胜，徒儿不但见所未见，直是闻所未闻。”“这是天下从所未有的丰功伟绩，若不是师父老人家露了这一手，中原武人还不知世上有这等功夫。”一片歌功颂德之声，洋洋盈耳，丝竹箫管也跟着吹奏。 忽听得嘘溜溜一声响，全冠清铁笛就口，吹了起来。游坦之心道：“他吹笛干什么？帮着为星宿老仙捧场吗？”忽听地下簌簌有声，大布袋中游出几条五彩斑斓的大蛇，笔直向那老翁游去。老翁身旁一群弟子惊叫起来：“有蛇，有毒蛇！”“啊哟，不好，来了这许多毒蛇！”“师父，这些毒蛇似是冲着咱们而来。”只见群丐布袋中纷纷游出毒蛇，有大有小，昂首吐舌，冲向那老翁和群弟子。众人更是七张八嘴的乱叫乱嚷。 星宿派众弟子提起钢杖，纷纷向蜿蜒而来的毒蛇砸去，只有那老翁神色自若，仍是撮唇作哨，挥扇攻敌。全冠清笛声不歇，群丐也跟着呐喊助威。 群蛇越来越多，片刻之间，这一干人身旁竟聚集了数百条，其中有五六条乃是大蟒。几条巨蟒游将近去，转过尾巴，登时卷住了两人，跟着又有两人被卷。星宿派群弟子若要拔足奔逃，群蛇自是追赶不上，但师尊正在迎敌，群弟子一步也不敢离开，只有舞动兵刃，乱砸乱斩，被他们打死的毒蛇少说已有八九十条，但被毒蛇咬伤的也已有七八人。那些巨蟒更是厉害，皮粗肉厚，被钢杖砸中了行若无事，身子一卷到人，越收越紧，再也不放。铁笛声中，从布袋中游出的巨蟒渐增，一共已有二十七八条。 那老翁见情势不对，想要退开，去攻击全冠清，两条小蛇猛地跃起，向他脸上咬去。他大声怒斥：“好大胆！”羽扇挥动，劲风扑出，将两条小蛇击落，突觉一件软物卷向足踝。他知道不妙，飞身而起，只听得嘘溜溜一响笛声，四条蟒蛇同时挥起长尾，向他卷了过来。那老翁身在半空，砰砰击出两掌，将前面和左边的两条蟒蛇击开，身形一晃，已落在两丈之外。便在此时，第三条、第四条巨蟒的长尾同时攻到。他情急之下，运劲又是一掌击出，掌风到处，登时将一条巨蟒的脑袋打得稀烂。 蛇群如潮涌至。那老翁又劈死了三条巨蟒，但腰间和右腿却被两条巨蟒缠住。他运起内力，大喝一声，伸指抓破了缠在腰间巨蟒的肚腹，只溅得满身都是鲜血。岂知蛇性最长，此蟒肚子虽穿，一时却不便死，吃痛之下，更猛力缠紧，只箍得那老翁腰骨几欲折断。他用力挣了两挣，跟着又有两条巨蟒甩了上来，在他身上绕了数匝，连他手臂也绕在其中，令他再也没法抗拒。游坦之在草丛中见到这般惊心动魄的情景，几乎连气也透不过来。 全冠清心下大喜，见一众敌人个个被巨蟒缠住，除了呻吟怒骂，再无反抗的能为，便不再吹笛，走上前去，笑吟吟的道：“星宿老怪，你星宿派和我丐帮素来河水不犯井水，好端端地干么惹到我们头上来？现今又怎么说？”
这个童颜鹤发的老翁，正是中原武林人士对之深恶痛绝的星宿老怪丁春秋。他因星宿派三宝之一的神木王鼎给女弟子阿紫盗去，连派数批弟子出去追捕，甚至连大弟子摘星子也遣了出去，但一次次飞鸽传书报来，均是十分不利。最后听说阿紫倚丐帮帮主乔峰为靠山，将摘星子伤得半死不活，丁春秋又惊又怒，知道丐帮是中原武林第一大帮，实非易与，又听到聋哑老人近年来在江湖上出头露面，颇有作为，这心腹大患不除，总是放心不下，夺回王鼎之后，正好乘此了结昔年的一桩大事，于是尽率派中弟子，亲自东来。 他所练的那门“化功大法”，经常要将毒蛇毒虫的毒质涂在手掌之上，吸入体内，若是七日不涂，不但功力减退，而且体内蕴积了数十年的毒质不得新毒克制，不免渐渐发作，为祸之烈，实是难以形容。那神木王鼎天生有一股特异气息，再在鼎中燃烧香料，片刻间便能诱引毒虫到来，方圆十里之内，什么毒虫也抵不住这香气的吸引。丁春秋有了这奇鼎在手，捕捉毒虫不费吹灰之力，“化功大法”自是越练越深，越练越精。当年丁春秋有一名得意弟子，得他传授，修习化功大法，颇有成就，岂知后来自恃能耐，对他居然不甚恭顺。丁春秋将他制住后，也不加以刀杖刑罚，只是将他囚禁在一间石屋之中，令他无法捉虫豸加毒，结果体内毒素发作，难熬难当，忍不住将自己全身肌肉一片片的撕落，呻吟呼号，四十余日方死。星宿老怪得意之余，心下也颇为戒惧，而化功大法也不再传授任何门人。因此摘星子等人都是不会，阿紫想得此神功，非暗中偷学、盗鼎出走不可。 阿紫工于心计，在师父刚捕完毒那天辞师东行，待得星宿老怪发觉神木王鼎被盗，已在七天之后，阿紫早已去得远了。她走的多是偏僻小路，追拿她的众师兄武功虽比她为高，智计却远所不及，给她虚张声势、声东击西的连使几个诡计，一一都撇了开去。 星宿老怪所居之地是阴暗潮湿的深谷，毒蛇毒虫繁殖甚富，神木王鼎虽失，要捉些毒虫来加毒，倒也不是难事，但寻常毒虫易捉。要像从前这般，每次捕到的都是希奇古怪、珍异厉害的剧毒虫豸，却是可遇不可求了。更有一件令他担心之事，只怕中原的高手识破了王鼎的来历，谁都会立即将之毁去，是以一日不追回，一日便不能安心。 他在陕西境内和一众弟子相遇。大弟子摘星子幸而尚保全一条性命，却已武功全失，被众弟子一路上殴打侮辱，虐待得人不像人，二弟子狮鼻人狮吼子暂时接领了大师兄的职位。众弟子见到师父亲自出马，又惊又怕，均想师命不能完成，这场责罚定是难当之极，幸好星宿老怪正在用人之际，将责罚暂且寄下，要各人戴罪立功。 众人一路上打探丐帮的消息。一来各人生具异相，言语行动无不令人厌憎，谁也不愿以消息相告；二来萧峰到了辽国，官居南院大王，武林中真还少有人知，是以竟然打听不到半点确讯，连丐帮的总舵移到何处也查究不到。 这一日天狼子无意中听到丐帮大智分舵聚会的讯息，为要立功，竟迫不及待的孤身闯了来，中了全冠清的暗算。总算他体内本来蕴有毒质，蝎子毒他不死，逃得性命后急忙禀告师父。丁春秋当即赶来，不料空具一身剧毒和深湛武功，竟致巨蟒缠身，动弹不得。
丁春秋不答全冠清的问话，冷冷的道：“你们丐帮中有个人名叫乔峰，他在哪里？快叫他来见我。”全冠清心中一动，问道：“阁下要见乔峰，为了何事？”丁春秋傲然道：“星宿老仙问你的话，你怎地不答？却来向我问长问短。乔峰呢？” 全冠清见他身子被巨蟒缠住，早已失了抗拒之力，说话却仍这般傲慢，如此悍恶之人，当真天下少有，便道：“星宿老怪天下皆闻，哪知道不过是徒负虚名，连几条小小蛇儿也对付不了。今日对不起，我们可要为天下除一大害了。” 丁春秋微微一笑，说道：“老夫不慎，折在你这些冷血畜生手下，今日魂归西方极乐，也是命该如此……” 他话未说完，一个被巨蟒缠住了的星宿弟子忽然叫道：“丐帮的大英雄，请你放了我出来，会有大大的好处。我师父诡计甚多，你防不胜防。你一个不小心，便着了他的道儿。”全冠清冷冷的道：“放了你有什么好处？”那人道：“我星宿派共有三件宝物，叫做星宿三宝。只有星宿老怪和我知道收藏的所在。你饶了我性命，待你杀了这星宿老怪之后，我自然取出献上。倘若你将我杀了，这星宿三宝你就永远得不到了。” 另一名星宿弟子大叫：“大英雄，大英雄，你莫上他的当！星宿三宝之中，有一宝早给人盗去了。你还是放我的好。只有我才对你忠心，决不骗你。” 霎时之间，星宿派群弟子纷纷叫嚷起来：“丐帮的大英雄，你饶我性命最好，他们都不会对你忠心，只有我死心塌地，为你效劳。”“大英雄，星宿派本门功夫，我所知最多，我定会一古脑儿的都说了出来，决不会有半点藏私。”“本派人众来到中原，实有重大图谋，主要便是为了对付你们丐帮。众位大英雄，你们想不想知道详情？”“咱们在星宿海之旁藏有无数金银财宝，我知道每一处藏宝的所在。我带你们去挖掘出来，丐帮的英雄好汉从此不必再讨饭了。”这些人七张八嘴，献媚和效忠之言有若潮涌，有的动之以利，有的企图引起对方好奇之心，有的更是公然撒谎，荒诞不经。有些弟子已被毒蛇咬伤，或已给巨蟒缠得奄奄一息的，也均唯恐落后，上气不接下气的争相求饶。 群丐万想不到星宿派弟子竟如此没骨气，既是鄙视，又感好奇，纷纷走近倾听。全冠清冷冷的道：“你们对自己师父也不忠心，又怎能对素无渊源的外人忠心？岂不可笑？” 一名星宿弟子道：“不同，不同，大大的不同。星宿老怪本领低微，我跟了他有什么出息？对他忠心有何好处？丐帮的大英雄武功威震天下，又有驱蛇制敌的大法术，岂是星宿老怪所能比拟？”“是啊，丐帮收容了星宿派的众弟子，西域和中原群雄震动，谁不佩服丐帮英雄了得？”“'英雄'二字，不足以称众位高人侠士，须得称'大侠'、'圣人'、'世人救星'才是！”“我能言善道，今后去周游四方，为众位宣扬德威，丐帮大侠的名望就天下无不知闻了。”“呸，丐帮大侠的名头早已天下皆知，何必要你去多说？”“'圣人'、'世人救星'的称号，是小人第一个说出来的。他们拾我牙慧，毫无功劳。” 一名丐帮的五袋弟子皱眉道：“你们这批卑鄙小人，叫叫嚷嚷的令人生厌。星宿老怪，你怎地如此没出息，尽收些无耻之徒做弟子？我先送了你的终，再叫这些家伙一个个追随于你，老子今日要大开杀戒了！”说着呼的一掌，便向丁春秋击去。 这一掌势挟疾风，劲道甚是刚猛，正中丁春秋胸口。哪知丁春秋浑若无事，那乞丐却双膝一软，倒在地下，蜷成一团，微微抽搐了两下，便一动不动了。群丐大惊，齐叫：“怎么啦？”便有两名乞丐伸手去拉他起身。这两人一碰到他身子，便摇晃几下，倒了下去。旁边三名丐帮弟子自然而然的出手相扶，但一碰到这二人，便也跌倒。其余帮众无不惊得呆了，不敢再伸手去碰跌倒的同伴。 全冠清喝道：“这老儿身上有毒，大家不可碰他身子。放暗器！” 八九名四五袋弟子同时掏出暗器，钢镖、飞刀、袖箭、飞蝗石，纷纷向丁春秋射去。丁春秋一声大喝，脑袋急转，满头白发甩了出去，便似一条短短的软鞭，将十来件暗器反击出来。但听得“啊哟”、“啊哟”连声，六七名丐帮帮众被暗器击中。这些暗器也非尽数击中要害，有的擦破一些皮肉，但几名乞丐立时软瘫而死。 全冠清大叫：“退开，退开！”突然呼的一声，一枝钢镖激射而至，却是丁春秋将头发裹住了钢镖，运劲向他射来。全冠清忙挥手中铁笛格打，当的一声，将钢镖击得远远飞了出去。他想这星宿老怪果然厉害，只有驱蟒制其死命，当即将铁笛凑到口边，待要吹奏，蓦地里嘴上一麻，登时头晕目眩，心知不妙，急忙抛下铁笛，便已咕咚一声，仰天摔倒。 群丐大惊，当即有两人抢上扶起。全冠清迷迷糊糊的叫道：“我……我中了毒，大……大伙快……快……快……去……”群丐早已吓得魂飞魄散，拥着他飞也似的急奔而逃，于满地尸骸、布袋、毒蛇，再也不敢理会。
游坦之蹲在草丛之中，惊疑无已，不敢稍动。四下里一片寂静，十余名乞丐都缩成了一个圆球，便如是一只只遇到了敌人的刺猬，显然均已毙命。 那些巨蟒不经全冠清再以笛声相催，不会伤人，只是紧紧缠住了丁春秋师徒。星宿派众人谁都不敢挣扎动弹，惟恐激起蛇儿的凶性，随口咬将下来。 这么静了片刻，有人首先说道：“师父，你老人家神功独步天下，谈笑之间，随手便将这批万恶不赦的叫化儿杀得落荒而逃……”他话未说完，另一名弟子抢着说道：“师父，你莫听他放屁，刚才说那些叫化儿是'大侠'、'圣人'的就是他。”又有一名弟子道：“咱们追随师父这许多年，岂不知师父有通天彻地之能？刚才跟那些叫化儿胡说八道，全是骗骗他们的，好让他们不防，以便师父施展无边法力。” 忽然有人放声大哭，说道：“师父，师父！弟子该死，弟子胡涂，为了贪生怕死，竟向敌人投降，此时悔之莫及，宁愿死在毒蟒的口下，再也不敢向师父求饶了。” 群弟子登时省悟：师父最不喜欢旁人文过饰非，只有痛斥自己胡涂该死，将各种各样的罪名乱加在自己头上，或许方能得到师父开恩饶恕。一霎时间，人人抢着大骂自己，说自己如何居心不良，如何罪该万死。只将草丛中的游坦之听得头昏脑胀，莫名其妙。 丁春秋暗运劲力，想将缠在身上的三条巨蟒崩断。但巨蟒身子可伸可缩。丁春秋运力崩断，蟒身只略加延伸，并不会断。丁春秋遍体是毒，衣服头发上也是凝聚剧毒。群丐向他击打或发射暗器，尽皆沾毒。但巨蟒皮坚厚韧滑，毒素难以侵入。只听得群弟子还在唠叨不停，丁春秋怒道：“有谁想得出驱蛇之法，我就饶了他性命。难道你们还不知道我的脾气？有谁对我有用，我便不加诛杀。你们老是胡说八道，更有何用？” 此言一出，群弟子登时静了下来。过了一会，有人说道：“只要有人拿个火把，向这些蟒蛇身上烧去，这些畜生便逃之夭夭了。”丁春秋骂道：“放你娘的臭屁！这里旷野之地，前不把村，后不把店，有谁经过？就算有乡民路过，他们见到这许多毒蛇，吓得逃走也来不及，哪里还肯拿火把来烧？”跟着别的弟子又乱出主意，但每一个主意都不着边际，各人所以不停说话，只不过向师父拚命讨好，显得自己确是遵从师命在努力思索而已。 这样过了良久，有一名弟子给一条巨蟒缠得实在喘不过气来了，昏乱中张口向蟒蛇身上咬去。那蟒蛇吃痛，张口向他咽喉反咬，那弟子惨呼一声，登时毙命。 丁春秋越来越焦急，倘若被敌人所困，这许久之间，他定能下毒行诡，设法脱身，偏偏这些蛇儿无知无识，再巧妙的计策也使不到它们身上，只怕这些巨蟒肚饿起来，一口将自己吞了下去。 他担心的事果真便即出现，一条巨蟒久久不闻笛声，肚中却已饿得厉害，张开大口，咬住了所缠住的一名星宿弟子。那弟子大叫：“师父救我，师父救我！”两条腿已被那巨蟒吞入了口中，他身子不住的给吸入巨蟒腹中，嘴中兀自惨叫。蟒蛇的牙齿形作倒钩，那星宿派弟子腿脚先入蛇口，慢慢的给吞至腰间，又吞至胸口，他一时未死，高声惨呼，震动旷野。 众人均知自己转眼间便要步他后尘，无不吓得心胆俱裂。有一人见星宿老怪也是束手无策，不禁恼恨起来，开口痛骂，说都是受他牵累，自己好端端的在星宿海旁牧羊为生，却被他威胁利诱，逼入门下，今日惨死于毒蛇之口，到了阴间，定要向阎王狠狠告他一状。 这人开端一骂，其余众弟子也都纷纷喝骂起来。各人平素受尽星宿老怪的荼毒虐待，无不怀恨在心，只是敢怒而不敢言而已，今日反正是同归于尽，痛骂一番，也好稍泄胸中的怒气。
